Thou, Whose Unmeasured Temple Stands

Thou

whose un­mea­sured tem­ple stands

Built ov­er earth and sea

Accept these walls that hu­man hands

Have raised

O God

to Thee.

Lord

from Thine in­most glo­ry send

Within these courts to bide

The peace that dwell­eth with­out end

Serenely by Thy side!

And let the Com­fort­er and Friend

Thy Ho­ly Spir­it

meet

With those who here in wor­ship bend

Before Thy mer­cy seat.

May they who err be guid­ed here

To find the bet­ter way;

And they who mourn

and they who fear

Be strength­ened as they pray.

May faith grow firm

and love grow warm

And pure de­vo­tion rise

While round these hal­lowed walls the storm

Of earth born pass­ion dies.
