Pious Worship.
1In thy courts let peace be found,
Be thy temple full of love;
There we tread on holy ground,
All serene, around, above.
2While the knee in prayer is bent,
While with praise the heart o'erflows,
Tranquillize the turbulent!
Give the weary one repose!
3Be the place for worship meet,
Meet the worship for the place;
Contemplation's best retreat,
Shrine of guilelessness and grace!
4As an infant knows its home,
Lord! may we thy temples know;
Thither for instruction come--
Thence by thee instructed go.
