676. In God's Holy Dwelling

1 In God’s holy dwelling,
Spared to meet again,
Hark! glad voices swelling,
Raise their joyous strain.
Children, bending lowly,
Join the angels’ story cry,
“Holy, holy, holy,
Is the Lord on high!”

2 All things tell His glory—
Earth and heaven above;
And the gospel story
Tells His wondrous love;
How the Father gave us
His own Son to die;
How the Son to save us,
Left His throne on high!

3 Oh, how blest to know Him,
And His love so true!
Oh, how sweet to show Him
How we love Him too!
For to us is given
Here to test His grace,
And the hope in Heaven
To behold His Face.

4 Then within His dwelling,
Raise the joyous song;
Let glad voices swelling
Still the strain prolong;
Children, bending lowly,
Join the angels’ story cry,
“Holy, holy, holy,
Is the Lord on high!”
