The Church the Dwelling of God

Verse 1

The Lord in Zion placed His name, His ark was settled there; To Zion the whole nation came To worship thrice a year.

Verse 2

But we have no such lengths to go, Nor wander far abroad; Where'er Thy saints assemble now, There is a house for God.

Verse 3

Here, mighty God! accept our vows; Here let Thy praise be spread. Bless the provisions of Thy house, And fill Thy poor with bread.

Verse 4

Here let the Son of David reign, Let God's Anointed shine; Justice and truth His court maintain, With love and pow'r divine.
