103. Oh! enter, Lord, Thy temple

1 Oh! enter, Lord, Thy temple,
Be Thou my spirit's Guest,
Who in my early childhood
Gave'st me a life more blest.
Though here to dwell Thou deignest
Thou in the God-head, Lord,
For ever equal reignest,
Art equally adored.

2 Oh! enter, let me know Thee,
And feel Thy power within,
The power that breaks our fetters,
And rescues us from sin,
That I may serve Thee truly,
Oh! wash and cleanse Thou me.
To render honor duly
With perfect heart to Thee.

3 'Tis Thou, O Spirit, teachest
The soul to pray aright:
Thy songs have sweetest music,
Thy prayers have wondrous might.
They pierce the highest heaven,
Unheard they cannot fall,
Till God His help hath given,
Who surely helpeth all.

4 Order our path in all things
According to Thy mind,
And when this life is over,
And all must be resigned,
With calm and fearless spirit
Oh! grant us then to die,
And after death inherit
Eternal life on high.
