Enter Thy temple, glorious King
And write Thy name upon It's shrine,
Thy peace to shed, Thy JOY to bring,
And seal its courts forever Thine
If from Thy paths our souls should stray,
Yet turn to seek Thy pardonins grace,
Cast not our contrite PRAYER away.
But hear from heaven, Thy dwe!ling-place.
Grant us to walk in peace and love.
And find, at last. some humble place
In that great temple built above.
Where dwell Thy saints before Thy face
