Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
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.
