In thy house, while now we sing

1

In thy house, while now we sing,Tune our hearts, O heavenly King!Then our joyful souls shall blessThee, the Lord, our righteousness.

2

While to thee our prayers ascend,Let thine ear in love attend;Hear us, for thy Spirit pleads—Hear, for Jesus intercedes.

3

While we hear thy word with awe,While we tremble at thy law,Let thy gospel's wondrous loveEvery doubt and fear remove.

4

From thy house when we return,Let our hearts within us burn,That at evening we may say,"We have walked with God to-day."
