     marker 99|  |  |  |  | Lord of hosts, to thee we raise
 Here a house of prayer and praise;
 Thou thy people’s heart prepare
 Here to meet for praise and prayer.
 
 
 Let the living here be fed
 With thy word, the heavenly bread;
 Here, in hope of glory blest,
 May the dead be laid to rest.
 
 
 Here to thee a temple stand,
 While the sea shall gird the land;
 Here reveal thy mercy sure,
 While the sun and moon endure.
 
 
 Hallelujah!—earth and sky
 To the joyful sound reply;
 Hallelujah!—hence ascend
 Prayer and praise till time shall end.
