The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#12

12. With joy we lift our eyes

1 With joy we lift our eyes
To those bright realms above,
That glorious temple in the skies,
Where dwells eternal love.

2 Before thy throne we bow,
O thou almighty King!
Here we present the solemn vow,
And hymns of praise we sing.

3 While in thy house we kneel
With trust and holy fear,
Thy mercy and thy truth reveal,
And lend a gracious ear.

4 Lord, teach our hearts to pray,
And tune our lips to sing;
Nor from thy presence cast away
The sacrifice we bring.
