Original text and translations

English text

1  Sweet is the solemn voice that calls the Christian to the house of prayer; I love to stand within its walls, For thou, O Lord, art present there. 2  I love to tread the hallowed courts Where two or three for worship meet, For thither Christ himself resorts, And makes the little band complete.

3  'Tis sweet to raise the common song, To join in holy praise and love And imitate the blessed throng That mingle hearts and songs above. 4  Within these wallsmay peace abound; May all our hearts in one agree; Where brethren meet, where Christ is found, May peace and concord ever be.
