O enter, Lord, Thy temple
Author: P. Gerhardt Hymnal: Church Hymnal for Lutheran Services #106 (1911) Lyrics: 1. O ENTER, Lord, Thy temple,
Be Thou my spirit's Guest,
Who gavest me, the earth-born,
A second birth more blest.
Thou in the Godhead, Lord,
Though here to dwell Thou deignest,
Art equally adored.
2. O enter, let me know Thee,
And feel Thy power within,
The power that breaks our fetters,
And rescues us from sin.
So wash and cleanse Thou me,
That I may serve Thee truly,
To render honor duly,
With perfect heart, to Thee.
3. Joy is Thy gift, O Spirit!
Thou wouldst not have us pine;
In darkest hours Thy comfort
Doth aye most brightly shine.
Ah! then, how oft Thy voice
Hath shed its sweetness o'er me,
And opened heav'n before me,
And bid my heart rejoice!
4. The whole wide world, O Spirit,
Upon Thy hands doth rest;
Our wayward hearts Thou turnest
As it may seem Thee best.
Once more Thy power make known,
As Thou hast done so often,
Convert the wicked, soften
Thyself the hearts of stone.
5. On those that rule our country
O shower Thy blessings down,
And in Thy loving-kindness
Adorn, as with a crown,
With piety our youth,
With godliness our nation,
That all, to gain salvation,
May know Thy heavenly truth.
6. Grant steadfastness and courage,
That bravely we contend
Against the wiles of Satan;
O Lord, Thy flock defend!
Help us to battle well,
To triumph o'er the devil,
To overcome the evil
And all the powers of hell.
7. Order our path in all things
According to Thy mind,
And when this life is over,
And all must be resigned,
O grant us then to die
With calm and fearless spirit,
And after death inherit
Eternal life on high.

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #117 (1893) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 O ENTER, Lord, Thy temple,
Be Thou my spirit's Guest,
Who gavest me, the earth-born,
A second birth more blest.
Thou in the Godhead, Lord,
Though here to dwell Thou deignest
Forever equal reignest,
Art equally adored.
2 O enter, let me know Thee,
And feel Thy power within,
The power that breaks our fetters,
And rescues us from sin;
So wash and cleanse Thou me,
That I may serve Thee truly,
And render honor duly
With perfect heart to Thee.
3 An olive wild by nature
Thou graftedst me anew;
Death preyed upon my vitals,
And claimed me as his due:
But Christ's atoning blood,
In death true comfort granting,
Drowned death with all his vaunting,
In His baptismal flood.
4 Thou art, O Holy Spirit,
The true anointing Oil,
Through which are consecrated
Soul, body, ease and toil
To Christ whose guardian wings,
Where'er their lot appointed,
Protect His own anointed,
His prophets, priests, and kings.
5 'Tis Thou, O Spirit, teachest
The soul to pray aright;
Thy songs have sweetest music,
Thy prayers have wondrous might:
They pierce the highest heaven,
Unheard they cannot fall,
Till He His help hath given
Who surely helpeth all.
6 Joy is Thy gift, O Spirit!
Thou wouldst not have us pine;
In darkest hours Thy comfort
Doth aye most brightly shine;
Ah! then how oft Thy voice
Hath shed its sweetness o'er me,
And opened heaven before me,
And bid my heart rejoice!
7 All love in Thine, O Spirit!
Thou hatest enmity;
Thou lovest peace and friendship,
All strife wouldst have us flee;
Where wrath and discord reign
Thy whisper inly pleadeth,
And to the heart that heedeth
Brings love and light again.
8 The whole wide world, O Spirit!
Upon Thy hands doth rest
Our wayward hearts Thou turnest
As it may seem Thee best;
Once more Thy power make known,
As Thou hast done so often,
Convert the wicked, soften
Thyself the hearts of stone.
9 O Holy Spirit, hear us
And make our sorrow cease,
Thy scattered flock restore now
To union, joy, and peace;
Bid flourish once again
The lands by men forsaken,
The churches spoiled and shaken
By war's unhallowed train.
10 On those that rule our country
O shower Thy blessings down,
And in Thy loving-kindness
Adorn, as with a crown,
With piety our youth,
With godliness our nation,
That all, to gain salvation,
May know Thy heavenly truth.
11 With holy zeal then fill us,
To keep the faith still pure:
And bless our lands and houses
With wealth that may endure;
And make the Foe to flee,
Who in us with Thee striveth,
From out our heart he driveth
Whate'er delighteth Thee.
12 Grant steadfastness and courage,
That bravely we contend
Against the wiles of Satan;
O Lord, Thy flock defend!
Help us to battle well,
To triumph o'er the Devil,
To overcome the evil
And all the powers of hell.
13 Order our path in all things
According to Thy mind,
And when this life is over,
And all must be resigned,
O grant us then to die
With calm and fearless spirit,
And after death inherit
