Here at this temple’s holy shrine,
Let Israel join in sacred prayer;
And every thought to him resign,
Who sheds on us his tender care.
Then hearts sincere in grateful praise;
Shall sanctify the hymns we raise.
Oh! let not pride nor envy dwell,
Where righteousness alone should reign;
For sweet religion’s holy spell,
Shall lead us back to grace again.
And all be most supremely blest,
Who bow before his high behest.
Pure is the soul which God hath given;
Let sin’s deep stain defile it not!
That when life’s feeble chords are riven,
And earthly cares in death forgot,
To realms of endless bliss it flies,
Eternal rest beyond the skies.
