[Father, Thine eyes are open now]

That Thine eyes may be open toward this house, &c. —viii. 29.

Father, Thine eyes are open now,
And mark the Place to which I bow,
To which direct my prayer,
The Temple never built with hands,
Before Thy glorious throne it stands,
And all Thy name is there!
There in the temple of Thy Son,
I still for mercy, mercy groan,
Till Thou my guilt remove;

The grace for Jesus' sake I claim,
Through Him declare to me Thy name,
And manifest Thy love.
