Within the temple's hallowed walls

Hymnal: Voices of Praise #248 (1883) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Within the temple's hallowed walls, How meekly sat the Holy Child, And listened when the doctors taught, And meekly questioned soft and mild. 2 He did His Father's work betimes, He loved within His courts to stay, While three long days the Mother trod Along her weary homeward way. 3 Oh! shame on any Christian child Who does not love the house of prayer; Who goes with cold, unwilling heart, To serve his Heavenly Father there: 4 Who takes no heed when holy words Are spoken to his listless ears, Nor ever questions in his heart, What mean the sacred things he hears. 5 Come let him learn what Jesus did, And love to trace, with wondering eyes, His perfect works, His holy ways, Who was in early years so wise. 6 And let him ask of God in heaven, A spirit teachable and mind, A simple heart to learn and love, Like Jesus, that sweet, Holy Child. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: VENABLES
