Wondrous Love ‎#8

8. Is This Thy Zion's Gate

1 Is this thy Zion’s gate, O Lord,
And art thou here today?
And may we come and hear thy word,
And sing thy praise and pray?

Refrain:
In loving tones the answer comes,
So joyous and so free
“Blessed are they that dwell in thy house”—
And— “they shall prosper that love thee.”

2 May we approach thy mercy seat,
And be accepted there?
And lay our sorrows at thy feet
In confidence and prayer? [Refrain]

3 May we put other thoughts away,
And strict attention give
To what the word of truth may say,
That we may hear and live? [Refrain]
