Lyrics

1. It is the house of prayer wherein Your children meet; and You, O Lord, are here Your chosen flock to greet. Here in Your sacred place we feel Your Godly love, receive anew Your grace and blessing from above. We love the place, O God, wherein Your honour dwells; the joy of Your abode all earthly joy excells.
2. We love Your altar, Lord; O what on earth so dear? For there, in faith adored, we find Your presence near. We love the word of life, the word that tells of peace, of comfort in the strife and joys that never cease. We love the place, O God, wherein Your honour dwells; the joy of Your abode all earthly joy excells.
3. We love to sing below for mercies freely giv'n; but Oh, we long to know the triumph-song of heav'n. Lord Jesus, give us grace on earth to love You more, in heav'n to see Your face and with Your saints adore. We love the place, O God, wherein Your honour dwells; the joy of Your abode all earthly joy excells.
