His bounty is tender,
His being is Love,—
His smile fills with splendor
The blue arch above.
His being is Love,—
His smile fills with splendor
The blue arch above.
Confiding, believing,
Oh! enter always
"His courts with thanksgiving—
His portals with praise!"
Oh! enter always
"His courts with thanksgiving—
His portals with praise!"
Nor come to the temple
With pride in thy mien;
But lowly and simple,
In courage serene.
With pride in thy mien;
But lowly and simple,
In courage serene.
Bring meekly before Him
The faith of a child:
Bow down and adore him,
With heart undefiled;
The faith of a child:
Bow down and adore him,
With heart undefiled;
And "by the still waters,"
And through the green shade,
With Zion's glad daughters,
Thy path shall be made!
And through the green shade,
With Zion's glad daughters,
Thy path shall be made!
