Thou Whose Unmeasured Temple Stands

Verse 1

Thou, whose unmeasured temple stands, Built over earth and sea Accept the walls that human hands Have raised, O God, to Thee.

Verse 2

And let the Comforter and Friend, Thy Holy Spirit, meet With those who here is worship bend Before thy mercy-seat.

Verse 3

May they who err be guided here To find the better way; And they who mourn, and they who fear, Be strengthened as they pray.

Verse 4

May faith grow firm, and love grow warm, And pure devotion rise, While round these hallowed walls the storm Of earth-born passion dies.

Verse 5

AMEN.
