To Thy tem­ple ho­ly, come we now with praise;
Thou, the meek and low­ly, guide us to Thy ways;
To Thy courts as­cend­ing, though un­wor­thy we;
Let our wor­ship, blend­ing, swell Thy har­mo­ny.

Not with os­ten­ta­tion, not with proud ac­claim,
Come we, Lord and Mas­ter, to ex­tol Thy name;
But with Christ­ly spi­rit, hum­ble and sin­cere,
Pleading but Thy me­rit, we Thy name re­vere.

For Thy Holy Spi­rit ear­nest­ly we plead,
Visit us, be­stow­ing grace for all our need,
Sanctify our wor­ship to Thy glo­ry, Lord;
Grant us spirits ea­ger to re­ceive Thy Word.

To Thy tem­ple holy, come we now with praise;
Thou, the meek and low­ly, guide us to Thy ways;
So shall we, re­new­ing ev­ery so­lemn vow,
Live for larg­er ser­vice if Thou bless us now.
