1 Kings 6: Lo! the house of holiness
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Lo! the house of holiness,
Founded, built, by just degrees.
Shows the' original design,
Speaks the Architect Divine!
Silenced by His secret power
Hurrying man is heard no more,
All the workmen's noise is still'd,
All the house with glory fiU'd!
Jesus, bid our hearts be still,
Calmly wait Thine hallowing will.
Till brought forth in us we own
Thee the head, and corner stone:
Then the living stones cry out.
Then with one consent we shout,
God, and giver of all grace,
Take our everlasting praise!
