- 1And wilt thou, O eternal God,
- On earth establish thine abode?
- Then look propitious from thy throne,
- And take this temple for thine own.
- 2These walls we to thy honor raise;
- Long may they echo with thy praise;
- And thou, descending, fill the place
- With choicest tokens of thy grace.
- 3Here let the great Redeemer reign,
- With all the graces of his train;
- While power divine his word attends,
- To conquer foes, and cheer his friends.
- 4And in the great decisive day,
- When God the nations shall survey,
- May it before the world appear
- That souls were born to glory here.
