Hymn 115: To Thy Temple I repair

HYMN CXV.

To Thy Temple I repair, Lord, I love to worship there, When within the veil I meet Christ before the .

Thou through Him art , I through Him become thy child; Abba! Father! give me , 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 Thee, the Lord my .

While the prayers of ascend, God of Love, to mine attend; Hear me, for thy Spirit pleads, Hear, for Jesus .

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 Thine House, when I return, May my heart within me burn, And at evening let me say, "I have walked with God to-day."
