Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church ‎#301

301. O Lord, How Lovely

1 O Lord, how lovely
Are Thy habitations,
Where Thy holy
People of all nations
Praise Thee,
Songs eternal raise Thee.

2 Each day before Thee
Is a wondrous blessing.
We implore Thee
Keep us from transgressing.
Guide us,
Be Thou e’er beside us.

3 Help us defend our
Freedom to assemble;
We implore thee
Prayer within Thy temple.
May we
Through Thy Word obey Thee.

4 Dear Lord, accept us,
For we trust Thee solely.
Thou hast kept us
In Thy presence holy,
Savior, Thine we are forever.
