The Voice of Praise ‎#561

561. Lord of hosts! to thee we raise

1 Lord of hosts! to thee we raise
Here a house of prayer and praise;
Thou thy people's hearts prepare,
Here to meet with praise and prayer.

2 Let the living here be fed
With thy word, the heavenly bread:
Here, in hope of glory blest,
May the dead be laid to rest.

3 Here to thee a temple stand,
While the sea shall gird the land:
Here reveal thy mercy sure,
While the sun and moon endure.

4 Hallelujah!--earth and sky
To the joyful sound reply:
Hallelujah! hence ascend
Prayer and praise till time shall end.
