Zion, let me enter there,
Where my soul in joyful duty
Waits for Him who answers prayer.
O how blessed is this place,
Filled with solace, light, and grace!
2 Gracious God, I come before Thee,
Come Thou also unto me;
Where we find Thee and adore Thee,
There a heav'n on earth must be.
To my heart O enter Thou,
Let it be Thy temple now. Topics: Blessing; Joy; Prayer / Petition Scripture: Psalm 100:4 Languages: English Tune Title: UNSER HERRSCHER
