To Thy Temple We Repair — SUCCESSFULSAVIOR.ORG

To Thy temple we repair,
Lord we love to worship there;
There within the veil we meet,
Thee upon the mercy seat.

While Thy glorious name is sung,
Tune our lips, unloose our tongue;
Then our joyful souls shall bless,
Thee the Lord, our Righteousness.

While to Thee our prayers ascend,
Let Thine ear in love attend;
Hear us when Thy Spirit pleads,
Hear, for Jesus intercedes.

While Thy word is heard with awe,
While we tremble at Thy law;
Let Thy gospel’s wondrous love,
Every doubt and fear remove.

From Thy house, when we return,
Let our hearts within us burn;
That at ev’ning we may say,
”We have walked with God today.”

- James Montgomery (1771-1825)

I was introduced to this hymn by Elder Neil Phelan, Jr., my father in the ministry. There are a half-dozen or so hymns that I learned from him at Harmony PBC over the last decade. I am so thankful for his faithful ministry to the church and to me and will always think of him when one of those songs is sung.

- Elder Daniel Samons
