The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#944

944. O Lord, regard thy people

1 O Lord, regard thy people,
Whose love designs to frame
This house of glad remembrance,
And here inscribe thy name.
To thee, the sure foundation,
Our witness would we raise,
Her walls to speak salvation,
Her gates to tell thy praise.

2 We thank thee for our birthright,
Secured at such a price;
Forbid that we despise it,
Or shrink from sacrifice.
Inspire our hearts to serve thee,
Thy chosen path to tread,
That we may follow boldly
Where nobler hearts have led.
