Lord, in the temples of thy grace,
Thy saints behold thy smiling face;
And oft have seen thy glory shine
With power and majesty divine:
But soon, alas! thy absence mourn,
And pray, and wish thy kind return;
Without thy life-inspiring light,
'Tis all a scene of gloomy night.
Come, dearest Lord, thy children cry.
Our graces droop, our comforts die;
Return, and let thy glories rise
Again, to our admiring eyes;
Till filled with light, and joy, and love,
Thy courts below, like those above,
Triumphant hallelujahs raise.
And heaven and earth resound thy praise.
Lord, in the temples of thy grace,
Thy saints behold thy smiling face;
And oft have seen thy glories shine
With power and majesty divine:
But soon, alas! thy absence mourn,
And pray, and wish thy kind return;
Without thy life-inspiring light,
'Tis all a scene of gloomy night.
Come, dearest Lord, thy children cry.
Our graces droop, our comforts die;
Return, and let thy glories rise
Again, to our admiring eyes;
Till filled with light, and joy, and love,
Thy courts below, like those above,
Triumphant hallelujahs raise.
And heaven and earth resound thy praise.

Lord, in the temples of thy grace,
Thy saints behold thy smiling face;
And oft have seen thy glories shine
With power and majesty divine:
