Representative Text

1 O Lord of hosts, we seek to raise,
Houses of worship, to Thy praise;
Wilt Thou Thy people’s hearts prepare,
Who meet this day for praise and prayer?

2 And Lord, let living souls be fed,
On this glad day, with heavenly bread;
That they in hope of glories blessed,
May hence prepare, Thee, earthly rest.

3 That everywhere, throughout the land,
There may to Thee a temple stand,
That there proclaimed, Thy mercy sure,
Shall stand, while time and man endure.

4 Jehovah, here our hearts inspire,
Baptize our souls with hallowed fire;
Bless Thou Thy people’s work for good,
And fill Thy poor with heav’nly food.

5 That songs triumphant—earth and sky,
May joyful to the sound reply;
And hallelujahs hence ascend,
With prayer and praise, ’till time shall end.
