Lord of hosts, how lovely, fair,E'en on earth thy temples are!Here thy waiting people seeMuch of heaven and much of thee.

From thy gracious presence flowsBliss that softens all our woes,While thy Spirit's holy fireWarms our hearts with pure desire.

Here we supplicate thy throne;Here thy pardoning grace is known;Here we learn thy righteous ways,Taste thy love, and sing thy praise.
