Sheet music
- 1Sweet is the solemn voice that callsThe Christian to the house of prayer;I love to stand within its walls,For Thou, O Lord, art present there.I love to tread the hallowed courtsWhere two or three for worship meet;For thither Christ Himself resorts,And makes the little band complete.
- 2’Tis sweet to raise the common song,To join in holy praise and love;And imitate the blessed. ThrongThat mingle hearts and songs above.
