O Lord, Thy House Which Here Below

O Lord, Thy House Which Here Below
"The church which is his body" Eph. 1:22
O Lord, thy house which here below
Built here on earth for thee,
Many are those who stand as foes
To hate with heart and soul.
The Jews in past had built this house
To praise and worship thee:
But thy foes did destroy this house
And brought it to its ruin.
It is you only that can build
The soul and heart of man;
And Thy Spirit of love do give
Which from Thy life descend.
We praise and worship thee, O God
Who make our heart to be
A great dwelling place, unto thee
A place you chose to dwell.
Give no chance to thy foes, O Lord
In thy servants' heart here;
Oh, Make our heart pure and holy
That we may see Thee, Lord.
