Within these walls, dear Lord,

1

Within these walls, dear Lord,
Display thy matchless grace;
Thy constant aid afford,
And show thy smiling face;
And may thy blessed family
Enjoy salvation full and free.

2

Here may the eternal Three
His glorious power make known,
Set captive sinners free,
Bring wandering sinners home;
Display the wonders of his love,
And fix his children's hearts above.

3

May watchmen, taught of God,
Jehovah's love declare;
Proclaim a Saviour's blood,
To vanquish guilty fear;
And may the heavenly Paraclete,
Their message seal in Zion's heart.
