Hymnal ‎#407

407. For Thee, O God, our constant praise

1 For Thee, O God, our constant praise
In Sion waits, Thy chosen seat;
Our promised altars there we'll raise,
And all our zealous vows complete.

2 Thou, Who to every humble prayer
Dost always bend Thy listening ear,
To Thee shall all mankind repair,
An at Thy gracious throne appear.

3 Our sins, though numberless, in vain
To stop Thy flowing mercy try;
Whilst Thou o'erlook'st the guilty stain,
And washest out the crimson dye.

4 Bless'd is the man who, near Thee placed,
Within Thy sacred dwelling lives!
'T is there abundantly we taste
The vast delights Thy temple gives.
