|
<p>Great King of glory, come,<br>
|
|
And with Thy favor crown<br>
|
|
This temple as Thy home,<br>
|
|
This people as Thine own;<br>
|
|
Beneath this roof, O deign to show<br>
|
|
How God can dwell with men below.</p>
|
|
<p>Here may Thine ears attend<br>
|
|
Our interceding cries,<br>
|
|
And grateful praise ascend,<br>
|
|
Like incense, to the skies:<br>
|
|
Here may Thy Word melodious sound,<br>
|
|
And spread celestial joys around.</p>
|
|
<p>Here may our unborn sons<br>
|
|
And daughters sound Thy praise,<br>
|
|
And shine, like polished stones,<br>
|
|
Through long succeeding days;<br>
|
|
Here, Lord, display Thy saving power,<br>
|
|
While temples stand and men adore.</p>
|
|
<p>Here may the listening throng<br>
|
|
Receive Thy truth in love;<br>
|
|
Here Christians join the song<br>
|
|
Of seraphim above;<br>
|
|
Till all, who humbly seek Thy face,<br>
|
|
Rejoice in Thy abounding grace.</p>
