1 Kings 8:29: That Thine eyes may be open toward this house, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

Religion

Father, Thine eyes are open now.
And mark the Place to which I bow.
To which direct my prayer.
The Temple never built with hands.
Before Thy glorious throne it stands,
And all Thy name is there!

There in the temple of Thy Son,
I still for mercy, mercy groan,
Till Thou my guilt remove;
The grace for Jesus' sake I claim,
Through Him declare to me Thy name,
And manifest Thy love.
