THY TEMPLE; A PRAYER by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS

First Line: THY TEMPLE MAY MY BODY BE
Last Line: MAY MY FOOT FIND NO HIDDEN STONE.
Subject(s): PRAYER; TEMPLES; MOSQUES;

Thy Temple may my body be,
Where Thou canst come and dwell with me,
Beyond Thine eye I cannot go,
No thought of mine Thou dost not know.

There is no place on land or sea
Where man can hide himself from Thee.
As I now kneel beneath Thine eye,
O Blessed Saviour, hear my cry.

Give Thine Angels charge o'er me,
That I may ever faithful be,
As I here tread earth's paths unknown,
May my foot find no hidden stone.
