Where is the house man shall build to Thee? Where is Thy rest?
To this man dost Thou look
Even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit,
Who trembles at Thy Word.
But wilt Thou indeed dwell on the earth?
Behold, the heavens and heaven of heavens cannot contain Thee:
There is no God like Thee
In heaven above or on earth beneath
Who keepest covenant and mercy with Thy servants
Who walk before Thee with all their heart:
Thou dwellest not in temples made with hands
Neither art Thou worshipped with men’s hands
As though Thou needest anything.
But the hour is come, and now is
When Thou, O Father, seekest true worshippers
And they that worship Thee must worship Thee
in spirit and in truth
Now Thou hast brought us nigh who once were afar off
Without God and without hope in the world,
Nigh by the Blood of Christ
For by Him we have access to Thee in one Spirit
We are the circumcision which worship God in the Spirit
And rejoice in Christ Jesus
And have no confidence in the flesh.
Now we are fitly framed together an holy temple,
An habitation of God by the Spirit
Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets
Jesus Christ Himself the chief cornerstone.
Now hast Thou called us out of darkness into Thy marvelous light
Us which had not mercy, but now have obtained mercy
Which were not a people, but are now the people of God.
Now are we Thy chosen generation
A spiritual house, a royal priesthood and holy nation
To offer up spiritual sacrifice acceptable to Thee
By Jesus Christ.
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
Who hast redeemed us to God by His Blood
Out of every kindred, nation, tongue and people,
Who loved us and loosed us from our sins,
And has made us kings and priests unto Thee
O God our Father!
Open our lips, O Lord
And our tongues shall shew forth Thy praise!
Draw nigh to us as we draw nigh to Thee
