We Love Thy House, O God

 


Lyrics

  1. 1. We love thy house, O God,

    Wherein thine honor dwells.

    The joy of thine abode

    All earthly joy excels.

  2. 2. It is the house of prayer,

    Wherein thy servants meet,

    And thou, O Lord, art there,

    Thy chosen flock to greet.

  3. 3. We love the word of life,

    The word that tells of peace,

    Of comfort in the strife,

    Of joys that never cease.
