Saviour, we come this day,
Low at Thy feet to lay
A loving offering from our hearts to Thee;
Since Thou did'st hold as meet,
The oil poured o'er Thy feet,
A fragrant gift may this accepted be!

Be this Thy fold, O Lord;
Who, in Thy holy word
Said "Little children, suffer them to come,
My Kingdom is of such!"
O Jesus, do Thou touch
Each heart that enters here, and lead it home!

O Jesus, do Thou touch
Each heart that enters here, and lead it home!
Gather Thy lambs in flocks,
Far wandering 'mid the rocks;
Here can they rest in safety from the storm!
This Temple be Thy fold,
From out the great world's cold;
Its holy love and light their souls shall warm.

Sweet Jesus, grant Thy grace,
To all within this place,
Faith to their hearts, and hope and peace be given;
Till earthly labor done,
Eternity be won,
And all Thine own, they dwell with Thee in Heaven!

To Holy Ghost be glory given now!
Throughout the world's domain,
And Heaven repeat again,
Eternally the praise, that all may bow!
