Hymn 48
L.M.
1. God in his earthly temple lays
Foundation for his heav'nly praise;
He likes the tents of Jacob well,
But still in Zion loves to dwell.

2. His mercy visits every house
That pay their night and morning vows;
But makes a more delightful stay,
Where churches meet to praise and pray.

3. What glories were described of old!
What wonders are of Zion told!
Thou city of our God below,
Thy fame shall all the nations know.
