EN 303 We Love the Venerable House
1Kgs.9.15
Versi Version 1
1
We love the venerable house
Our fathers built to God;
In heaven are kept their grateful vows,
Their dust endears the sod.
2
Here holy thoughts a light have shed
From many a radiant face,
And prayers of humble virtue spread
The perfume of the place.
3
And anxious hearts have pondered here
The mystery of life,
And prayed th’eternal Light to clear
Their doubts and aid their strife.
4
From humble tenements around
Came up the pensive train,
And in the church a blessing found,
That filled their homes again.
5
For faith, and peace, and mighty love,
That from the Godhead flow,
Showed them the life of heaven above
Springs from the life below.
6
They live with God their homes are dust;
Yet here their children pray,
And in this fleeting lifetime trust
To find the narrow way.
