Author: Grace Glenn Hymnal: The Morning Star #16 (1877) First Line: We haste to Thy temple, oh, Father! Refrain First Line: Greet with Thy presence Thy children, Lord Lyrics: 1 We haste to Thy temple, oh, Father!
We long for Thy presence to-day;
As thirst panting harts by the wayside
Delight by the waters to stray.
Chorus:
Greet with Thy presence Thy children, Lord,
Grant us the promise of Thy word;
Jesus, we need Thee on our way,
Be in our midst to-day.
2 We haste to Thy temple, oh, Father!
Our fast fading strength renew;
Bind up thou the wounded in spirit,
Our faith and our courage renew. [Chorus]
3 We haste to Thy temple, dear Father,
Smile down from Thy glory above;
We shall not grow weary well-doing,
If blest by Thy presence of love. [Chorus]
Tune Title: [We haste to Thy temple, oh, Father!]
Be in our midst to-day
