The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal ‎#373

373. Thou Whose Unmeasured Temple Stands

1 Thou, whose unmeasured temple stands,
Built over earth and sea
Accept the walls that human hands
Have raised, O God, to Thee.

2 And let the Comforter and Friend,
Thy Holy Spirit, meet
With those who here is worship bend
Before thy mercy-seat.

3 May they who err be guided here
To find the better way;
And they who mourn, and they who fear,
Be strengthened as they pray.

4 May faith grow firm, and love grow warm,
And pure devotion rise,
While round these hallowed walls the storm
Of earth-born passion dies.

AMEN.
