Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism #526 (2018) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 118:19-20 Lyrics: 1 Make of our life a house of praise
Where all, with one accord,
Unite to walk in Jesus' ways,
The temple of the Lord.
2 Here may we find our prayers are heard,
And grow in truth and grace,
Receive from Christ His holy word
And know His love's embrace.
3 May such a house of calm and peace
The Spirit strive to build;
Where kindliness and faith increase,
The storms of life are stilled.
4 Teach us our house of life to share,
That all who will may come,
The lost be doubly welcome there,
The wand'rer find a home.
5 So may our doors be open wide,
And life together prove
A house where God is glorified,
And a house of praise and love. Topics: The Gospel in the Christian Life Marriage; Family and Home; Praise Languages: English Tune Title: RICHMOND
