temple of the Lord,
And we feel His presence there,
Oh, the joy that comes when we
gather in His name,
At the hallowed hour of prayer.
He a precious unto all that believe Him,
He is precious unto all that receive Him,
Oh, the blessings we may claim, when we
gather in His name !
For the Lord will answer prayer.
2 There are floods of light from His
glory that descend,
When we think our prospect dim,
There are heights of love that His
children may attain,
By a closer walk with Him.
3 He will cheer us on when we follow
where He leads,
And our hearts with gladness fill ;
For we know by faith that His everlasting arms
Are beneath and round us still.
4 Let us grow in grace and a knowledge of the truth,
Let us dwell in perfect peace ;
Till we all clasp hands in the palace of the King,
Where our joy shall never cease.
