Author: Robert Collyer, b. 1823 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #11 (2011) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Unto Thy temple, Lord, we come
With thankful hearts to worship Thee;
And pray that this may be our home
Until we touch eternity;
2 The common home of rich and poor,
Of bond and free, and great and small;
Large as Thy love forevermore,
And warm and bright and good to all.
3 And dwell Thou with us in this place,
Thou and Thy Christ, to guide and bless.
Here make the well-springs of Thy grace
Like fountains in the wilderness.
4 May Thy whole truth be spoken here;
Thy gospel light for ever shine;
Thy perfect love cast out all fear,
And human life become divine.
Amen. Topics: Worship and Praise Adoration; Adoration; Church Scripture: Psalm 84 Languages: English Tune Title: MENDON
