Here within this house of prayer all our Father's love declare; love that gave us birth, and planned days and years beneath his hand: praise to God whose love and power bring us to this present hour! Here, till earthly praises end, tell of Christ the sinner's friend; Christ whose blood for us was shed, Lamb of God and living bread, life divine and truth and way, light of everlasting day. Here may all our faint desire feel the Spirit's wind and fire, souls that sleep the sleep of death stir to life beneath his breath: may his power upon us poured send us out to serve the Lord! Here may faith and love increase, flowing forth in joy and peace from the Father, Spirit, Son, undivided, Three-in-One: his the glory all our days in this house of prayer and praise!
