Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #2 (1941) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 To Thy Temple I repair;
Lord, I love to worship there
When within the veil I meet
Christ before the mercy-seat.
2 I through Him am reconciled,
I through Him become Thy child.
Abba, Father, give me grace
In Thy courts to seek Thy face.
3 While Thy glorious praise is sung,
Touch my lips, unloose my tongue,
That my joyful soul may bless
Christ the Lord, my Righteousness.
4 While the prayers of saints ascend,
God of Love, to mine attend.
Hear me, for Thy Spirit pleads;
Hear, for Jesus intercedes.
5 While I hearken to Thy Law,
Fill my soul with humble awe
Till Thy Gospel bring to me
Life and immortality.
6 While Thy ministers proclaim
Peace and pardon in Thy name,
Through their voice, by faith, may I
Hear Thee speaking from the sky.
7 From Thy house when I return,
May my heart within me burn,
And at evening let me say,
"I have walked with God today."
Amen. Topics: Adoration Opening of Service Scripture: Hebrews 9:14 Languages: English Tune Title: GOTT SEI DANK
