The House of the Lord

Verse 1

Here in the house of the Lord I find the narrow way, And here I find the blessed light That shines for all, today; Here I see his lifted cross, To which in faith I cling, And thus, believing in his name, My heart will ever sing.

Chorus

I was glad, I was glad, I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go, let us go, Let us go into the house of the Lord.

Verse 2

Here in the house of the Lord I find the hope divine, And with my sins all blotted out, I know this hope is mine; Here I find this safe retreat, The shelter of his wing, And thus, rejoicing in his love, My heart will ever sing.

Verse 3

Here in the house of the Lord I’m always glad to be, For here I find the sinner’s friend, Who died to ransom me; Here I gave my earthly life To serve the Lord and King, And thus, with faith to guide me on, My heart will ever sing.
