Within the temple of thy grace:
Here they behold thy gentler rays,
And seek thy face, and learn thy praise.

416 (NOTTING HILL) C. M.

I Great God, attend, while Zion sings 1 Come in, thou blessed of the Lord,

The joy that from thy presence springs:
To spend one day with thee on earth
Exceeds a thousand days of mirth.
2 Might I enjoy the meanest place
Within thy house, O God of grace,
Not tents of ease, nor thrones of power,
Should tempt my feet to leave thy door.
3 God is our sun, he makes our day; 3
God is our shield, he guards our way
From all assaults of hell and sin,
From foes without, and foes within.

Stranger nor foe art thou:

We welcome thee with warm accord,
Our friend, our brother, now.

2 The hand of fellowship, the heart
Of love, we offer thee:

The glorious hosts of heaven obey, [sway
And devils at thy presence flee;
Blest is the man that trusts in thee.

Isaac Watts

Leaving the world, thou dost but part

From lies and vanity.

Come with us; we will do thee good,
As God to us hath done;

Stand but in him as those have stood
Whose faith the victory won.
And when, by turns, we pass away,
As star by star grows dim,
May each, translated into day,
Be lost and found in him.
