For this your house of prayer, O Lord

2. 1
For this your house of prayer, O Lord,
our grateful thanks we raise,
secure upon your holy Word
for worship, prayer, and praise.

3. 2
O Jesus, source of every grace,
the truth that makes men free,
in you we see the Father’s face,
and humbly bow the knee.

rise thoughts and memories dear
of those above, now claimed your own,
passed onward year by year.

5. 4
Rejoicing in their labours past,
inspire us from on high
to live for you, while life shall last:
their work must never die.

6. 5
Renew in us the gospel light
of your New Church divine,
that through your strength and through your might
your glorious truth may shine.

7. Come, gentle Spirit, now, we pray, descend, O holy dove, 6
Come, gentle Spirit, now, we pray,
descend, O holy dove,
fill us with zeal on this glad day,
bring peace from heaven above.
