Oh! Enter, Lord, Thy Temple
Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #154 (1901) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Oh! enter, Lord, Thy temple,
Be Thou my spirit's Guest,
Who at my birth didst give me
A second birth more blest.
Though here to dwell Thou deignest,
Thou in the Godhead, Lord,
Forever equal reignest,
Art equally adored.
2 Oh, enter, let me know Thee,
And feel Thy power within,
The power that breaks our fetters,
And rescues us from sin.
Oh! wash and cleanse Thou me,
That I may serve Thee truly,
To render honor duly
With perfect heart to Thee.
3 'Tis Thou, O Spirit, teachest
The soul to pray aright;
Thy songs have sweetest music,
Thy prayers have wondrous might.
They pierce the highest heaven,
Unheard they cannot fall,
Till He His help hath given
Who surely helpeth all.
4 The whole wide world, O Spirit,
Upon Thy hands doth rest;
Our wayward hearts Thou turnest
As it may seem Thee best.
As Thou hast done so often,
Once more Thy power make known,
Convert the wicked, soften
To tears the heart of stone.
5 Order our path in all things
According to Thy mind,
And when this life is over,
And all must be resigned,
With calm and fearless spirit
Oh! grant us then to die,
And after death inherit
Eternal life on high.
Amen.
