113. My House shall be an House of Prayer

"My House shall be an House of Prayer
For all that live, to worship there:"
115
Thus saith the Lord:--how answer we?
"Thine House, our House of Prayer shall be."

"Wherever I my Name record,
There will I meet Thee," saith the Lord;
Thee in Thine House of Prayer we meet;
Now bless us from the Mercy-seat.

Thus spake the Lord--"My Son, to Thee
Swear every tongue, bow every knee:"
Father, by us Thy will be done,
We bow the knee and "Kiss the Son."

His throne and kingdom thus advance,
The world be His inheritance;
Then, for all people every where,
Thine House shall be an House of Prayer.
