Psalms of Grace ‎#132c

132c. In This Wide, Weary World of Care

1 In this wide, weary world of care,
How kindly God to man has given,
A Sabbath-day, a house of prayer,
Fair emblems of approaching heaven!

2 Here pilgrims view their future home;
Here find refreshment by the way;
And here we to Thy footstool come,
And seek Thy favor, LORD, today!

3 Arise, O LORD, Thy Church to bless;
Shower down Thy graces from above.
O clothe Thy priests in righteousness!
O Crown Thy saints with light and love!

4 Thy chosen flock, bless'd Savior, lead;
In every heart set up Thy shrine:
The naked clothe, the hunger feed,
And make us all forever Thine.
