133 Here, in Thy name, eternal God

1 Here, in Thy name, eternal God, We build this earthly house for Thee; O choose it for Thy fixed abode, And guard it from all error free. 2 Here, when Thy people seek Thy face, And dying sinners pray to live, Hear Thou in heaven, Thy dwelling-place, And when Thou hearest, Lord, forgive. 3 Here, when Thy messengers proclaim The blessed gospel of Thy Son, Still, by the power of Thy great name, Be mighty signs and wonders done. 4 When children's voices raise the song, Hosanna to the heavenly King, Let heaven, with earth, the strain prolong, Hosanna let the angels sing. 5 Thy glory never hence depart; Yet choose not, Lord, this house alone; Thy kingdom come to every heart; In every bosom fix Thy throne.
