The Plymouth Hymnal: For the Church, the Social Meeting and the Home

Accept the walls that hu-man hands Have raised, O God, to

2 And let the Comforter and Friend, Thy Holy Spirit, meet

With those who here in worship bend Before Thy mercy-seat.

3 May they who err be guided here To find the better way;

And they who mourn, and they who fear, Be strengthened as they pray.

4 May faith grow firm, and love grow warm,
And hallowed wishes rise

While round these peaceful walls the storm
Of earth-born passion dies.
