Laudes Domini ‎#44

44. Jesus intercedes

1 To thy temple we repair--
Lord, we love to worship there,
When within the vail we meet
Thee upon the mercy-seat.

2 While your glorious name is sung,
Tune our lips--unloose our tongue;
Then our joyful souls shall bless
Thee, the Lord our Righteousness.

3 While to thee our prayers ascend,
Let thine ear in love attend;
Hear us, for thy Spirit pleads--
Hear, for Jesus intercedes.

4 While thy word is heard with awe,
While we tremble at thy law,
Let thy gospel's wondrous love
Every doubt and fear remove.

5 From thy house when we return,
Let our hearts within us burn;
That at evening we may say--
"We have walked with God to-day."
