O GOD, WITHIN THE HOLY PLACE
1. O God, within
the holy place,
Receive our
worship, thanks, and praise,
For Thy great love
so precious.
When we were
sinners bound in sin,
Like prisoners
locked their cells within,
Then, Thou Lord,
came and freed us.
The riches of Thy
boundless love
Thy tender heart
didst freely move,
So Thou didst come
and save us.
2. Thou would'st
not have poor sinners die,
But have them turn
to Thee and cry,
"Thou art our
God and Saviour."
In Thy dear Son,
Thou didst us choose,
From sin, and death
to set us loose,
And place us in His
favour,
Now "Abba
Father," we may cry,
For in Thy Son, we
are brought nigh,
Any blessed in Him
forever.
3. But soon He'll
come, and take His Own,
And have us with
Him, round Thy Throne
To worship and
adore Thee.
Then shall Thy
praise most sweetly sound
To Heaven and
earth's remotest bound,
From that redeemed
assembly.
Yet now, O Lord, we
long to raise
Our worship,
homage, thanks, and praise
And ever bow before
Thee.
