Hymns for the Use of Families, 23

To— u T is finish' d, 'tis done."

Come, Jesus, and build Thy temples below,
In mercy reveal'd Thy Deity show;
Lay deep the foundation Of faith in Thy blood,
Which brought us salvation, Which brings us to God.

Implant by Thy grace A church in this house,
Then, then we shall praise, And pay Thee our vows;
Beholding Thy glory, Our souls shall arise,
And gladly adore Thee, Like those in the skies.

A power to believe We humbly request,
And long to receive The promise of rest:
From sorrow and sinning This moment to cease,
Our service beginning With pardon and peace.

The praise of our Lord Impatient to spread,
We wait for a word That quickens the dead:
Thy mercy forgiving The moment we see,
The living, the living Shall triumph in Thee.

The blessings of grace If others conceal,
Our lips shall confess The comforts we feel;
Redeem'd by Thy passion, We all the day long
Will publish salvation, And sing the new song.

O wouldst Thou inspire Our hearts with Thy love,
And add to the choir Of harpers above:
Then, Saviour, receive us, When perfect in one,
And graciously give us A share of Thy throne.
