Now to Thy sacred house with joy I turn my feet

Timothy Dwight • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 43

Verse 1

Now, to thy sacred house, With joy I turn my feet, Where saints, with morning-vows, In full assembly meet: Thy power divine shall there be shown, And from thy throne thy mercy shine.

Verse 2

Oh, send thy light abroad; Thy truth with heavenly ray Shall lead my soul to God, And guide my doubtful way; I'll hear thy word with faith sincere, And learn to fear and praise the Lord.

Verse 3

Now in thy holy hill, Before thine altar, Lord! My harp and song shall sound The glories of thy word: Henceforth, to thee, O God of grace! A hymn of praise my life shall be.
