- 1Lord of hosts! to thee we raise
- Here a house of prayer and praise;
- Thou thy people's hearts prepare,
- Here to meet with praise and prayer.
- 2Let the living here be fed
- With thy word, the heavenly bread:
- Here, in hope of glory blest,
- May the dead be laid to rest.
- 3Here to thee a temple stand,
- While the sea shall gird the land:
- Here reveal thy mercy sure,
- While the sun and moon endure.
- 4Hallelujah!--earth and sky
- To the joyful sound reply:
- Hallelujah! hence ascend
- Prayer and praise till time shall end.
