Lord Jehovah, in Thy Temple

lyricist: Henry McCook, ca. 1882
Composer: James North (1836–?)

Lord Je­ho­vah

in Thy tem­ple

Happy child­ren we ap­pear

Bringing in­cense of thanks­giv­ing

For the love that led us here.

Hallelujah! praise Je­ho­vah

For the love that led us here

Hallelujah! praise Je­ho­vah

For the love that led us here.

When on each return­ing Sab­bath

We re­turn to seek Thy face

Lord

ac­cept the child­ren’s wor­ship

Hear in Heav’n Thy dwell­ing place.

Hallelujah! praise Je­ho­vah

Hear in Heav’n Thy dwell­ing place

Hallelujah! praise Je­ho­vah

Hear in Heav’n Thy dwell­ing place.

Thus

as in Thy earth­ly tem­ple

Day by day we wait on Thee;

In each heart Thy Spir­it dwell­ing

May we all Thy tem­ples be.

Hallelujah! praise Je­ho­vah

May we all Thy tem­ples be

Hallelujah! praise Je­ho­vah

May we all Thy tem­ples be.
