Singing the Living Tradition ‎#35

35. Unto Thy Temple, Lord, We Come

1 Unto thy temple, Lord, we come
with thankful hearts to worship thee;
and pray that this may be our home
until we touch eternity:

2 The common home of rich and poor,
of bond and free, and great and small;
large as thy love forevermore,
and warm and bright and good to all.

3 May thy whole truth be spoken here;
thy gospel light for ever shine;
thy perfect love cast out all fear,
and human life become divine.
