Unto Thy Temple, Lord, We Come

lyricist: Robert Collyer, 1873
Composer: John Hatton, 1793

Unto Thy tem­ple

Lord

we come

With thank­ful hearts to wor­ship Thee;

And pray that this may be our home

Until we touch eter­ni­ty.

The com­mon home of rich and poor

Of bond and free

and great and small;

Large as Thy love for­ev­er­more

And warm and bright and good to all.

And dwell Thou with us in this place

Thou and Thy Christ

to guide and bless!

Here make the well­spring of Thy grace

Like fount­ains in the wil­der­ness.

May Thy whole truth be spok­en here;

Thy Gos­pel light for­ev­er shine;

Thy per­fect love cast out all fear

And hu­man life be­come di­vine.
