WITH joy we lift up our eyes

1WITH joy we lift up our eyes
To those bright realms above,
That glorious temple in the skies,
Where dwells eternal love.

2Before thy throne we bow,
O thou almighty King!
Here we present our solemn vow,
And hymns of praise we sing.

3While in thy house we kneel
With trust and holy fear,
Thy mercy and thy truth reveal,
And lend a gracious ear.

4Lord, teach our hearts to pray,
And tune our lips to sing;
And from thy presence cast away
The sacrifice we bring.
