1 To Thy Temple I repair;
Lord, I love to worship there,
While Thy glorious praise is sung,
Touch my lips, unloose my tongue.
Lord, I love to worship there,
While Thy glorious praise is sung,
Touch my lips, unloose my tongue.
2 While the prayers of saints ascend,
God of love, to mine attend;
Hear me, for Thy Spirit pleads;
Hear, for Jesus intercedes.

Hear me, for Thy Spirit pleads;

3 While I hearken to Thy Law,
Fill my soul with humble awe,
Till Thy Gospel bring to me
Life and immortality.

Till Thy Gospel bring to me
Life and immortality.
4 While Thy ministers proclaim
Peace and pardon in Thy Name,
Through their voice, by faith, may I
Hear Thee speaking from the sky.
