Lyrics

Enter and wor­ship here,
The Bride in­vites thee—Come;
The Spi­rit bids thee cast out fear,
And make the Church thy home.

Enter and bless the Lord,
And me­di­tate His grace;
Feast on the man­na of His Word,
And con­se­crate this place.

Enter and rest and pray,
Lift to the hills thine eyes;
Praise Him, and of­fer up today
Thy heart, a sac­ri­fice.
