247 - We love thy house, O God lyrics

1. We love thy house, O God,

Wherein thine honor dwells.

The joy of thine abode

All earthly joy excels.

2. It is the house of prayer,

Wherein thy servants meet,

And thou, O Lord, art there,

Thy chosen flock to greet.

3. We love the word of life,

The word that tells of peace,

Of comfort in the strife,

Of joys that never cease.
