With joy we lift our eyes
1
With joy we lift our eyesTo those bright realms above,That glorious temple in the skies,Where dwells eternal love.
2
Before thy throne we bow,O thou almighty King!Here we present the solemn vow,And hymns of praise we sing.
3
While in thy house we kneelWith trust and holy fear,Thy mercy and thy truth reveal,And lend a gracious ear.
4
Lord, teach our hearts to pray,And tune our lips to sing;Nor from thy presence cast awayThe sacrifice we bring.
