The Glad Refrain for the Sunday School ‎#20

20. Sweet Moments

1 O sweet are the moments, so hallowed in feeling,
While here in His temple His praises we sing;
For oft we have felt, in our hearts’ deep revealing,
The presence of Jesus our lord and King.

Refrain:
O here in His temple we meet to adore Him;
To Him, our Redeemer, our praises belong;
And here, as our hearts bend in rapture before Him,
His name, sweet as music, shall fill every song.

2 We pray to be free from the stains of transgression,
For all should be clean in His temple today;
He knows every thought, and He hears each confession;
His Spirit descends where His children pray. [Refrain]

3 O here may new life to our spirits be given,
The joy of His presence new courage inspire;
In worship of song, with the bright ones in heaven,
May each heart be kindled with pure desire. [Refrain]
