To thee this temple we devote

1

To thee this temple we devote,Our Father and our God;Accept it thine, and seal it nowThy Spirit's blest abode.

2

Here may the prayer of faith ascend,The voice of praise arise;And may each lowly service proveAccepted sacrifice.

3

Here may the sinner learn his guilt,And weep before his Lord;Here, pardoned, sing a Saviour's love,And here his vows record.

4

Peace be within these sacred walls;Prosperity be here;O smile upon thy people, Lord,And evermore be near.
