To Thy Temple I Repair

To Thy temple I re­pair;

Lord

I love to wor­ship there

When with­in the veil I meet

Christ be­fore the mer­cy seat.

I through Him am re­con­ciled

I through Him be­come Thy child.

Abba

Fa­ther

give me grace

In Thy courts to seek Thy face.

While Thy glo­ri­ous praise is sung

Touch my lips

un­loose my tongue

That my joy­ful soul may bless

Christ the Lord

my right­eous­ness.

While the pray­ers of saints as­cend

God of love

to mine at­tend.

Hear me

for Thy Spir­it pleads;

Hear

for Je­sus in­ter­cedes.

While I heark­en to Thy law

Fill my soul with hum­ble awe

Till Thy Gos­pel bring to me

Life and im­mor­tal­ity.

While Thy min­is­ters pro­claim

Peace and par­don in Thy name

Through their voice

by faith

may I

Hear Thee speak­ing from the sky.

From Thy house when I re­turn

May my heart with­in me burn

And at ev­en­ing let me say

I have walked with God to­day.
