1 We love your house, O God,
the place where honour dwells;
the joy of your abode
all earthly joy excels.
2 We love the house of prayer,
where you your servants greet,
for you, O Lord, are there,
and with your chosen meet.
3 We love the word of life,
the word that tells of peace,
of comfort in the strife,
and joys that never cease.
4 We love to sing below
of mercies freely given,
but how we long to know
the triumph-song of heaven!
5 Lord Jesus, give us grace
on earth to love you more,
in heaven to see your face,
and with your saints adore.
