Tune: Saffron Waldon
(one tune to 'Just as I am')
Psalm 26 v.8
********
Lord, I have loved the habitation
Of your house, joy and elation
And the place where your honour dwells
It your Temple, each tells
You have Jerusalem chosen
To be your city, that the one
You there will abide, there will rest
By your presence we blest
Yet your throne in heaven, you reign
Show your great works to us again
Heaven and earth cannot contain
All of your hosts and train
In worship her we humbly bow
Or in praise rise, and so tell how
Of your great works, your salvation
Open to each nation
Help us your house, your Temple, use
To ordained purpose, not abuse
As den of thieves, but house of prayer
All nations here may share
Our souls delight, no greater place
To abide, see by faith your face
And go out into the world, share
Of your glory most fair
