Psalms of Grace ‎#122a

122a. Sweet Is the Solemn Voice that Calls

1 Sweet is the solemn voice that calls,
The Christian to the house of prayer;
I love to stand within its walls,
For You, O Lord, are present there.

2 I love to tread the hallowed courts,
Where two or three for worship meet;
For there Christ Himself resorts,
And makes the little fold complete.

3 'Tis sweet to raise the common song,
To join in holy praise and love;
And imitate the blessed throng,
That mingle hearts and songs above.

4 Within these walls may peace abound!
May all our hearts in one agree!
Where brethren meet, where Christ is found,
May peace and concord ever be.
