Sweet is the solemn voice that calls

Verse 1

Sweet is the solemn voice that calls, The Christian to the house of prayer; I love to stand within its walls, For You, O Lord, are present there.

Verse 2

I love to tread the hallowed courts, Where two or three for worship meet; For there Christ Himself resorts, And makes the little fold complete.

Verse 3

'Tis sweet to raise the common song, To join in holy praise and love; And imitate the blessed throng, That mingle hearts and songs above.

Verse 4

Within these walls may peace abound! May all our hearts in one agree! Where brethren meet, where Christ is found, May peace and concord ever be.
