Christian Hymns ‎#124

124. To Thy temple I repair

1 To Thy temple I repair;
Lord! I love to worship there,
When within the veil I meet
Christ before the mercy-seat.

2 By Him I 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
Thee, the Lord my Righteousness.

4 When I hearken to Thy Law
Fill my soul with humble awe,
Till Thy Gospel bring to me
Life and immortality.

5 While Thy ministers proclaim
Peace and pardon in Thy name,
Through their voice, by faith, may I
Hear Thee speaking from the sky.

6 From Thy house when I return,
May my heart within me burn;
And at evening let me say,
"I have walked with God to-day."
