Unto Thy Temple, Lord, We Come
Robert Collyer (1873) • English
Primary Scripture: 1 Kings 8:22-30
Verse 1
Unto Thy temple, Lord, we come With thankful hearts to worship Thee; And pray that this may be our home Until we touch eternity;
Verse 2
The common home of rich and poor, Of bond and free, and great and small; Large as Thy love forevermore, And warm and bright and good to all.
Verse 3
And dwell Thou with us in this place, Thou and Thy Christ, to guide and bless. Here make the well-springs of Thy grace Like fountains in the wilderness.
Verse 4
May Thy whole truth be spoken here; Thy gospel light for ever shine; Thy perfect love cast out all fear, And human life become divine.
Verse 5
Amen.
