     1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 2 Stand in the gate of the Lord’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD. 3 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. 4 Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these. 5 For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour; 6 If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt: 7 Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever. 8 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. 9 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; 10 And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? 11 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD. 12 But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel. 13 And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not; 14 Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh. 15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.(KJV)

1. Lord Jesus Christ, be present now, 
Our hearts in true devotion bow, 
Thy Spirit send with grace divine, 
And let Thy truth within us shine. 

2. Unseal our lips to sing Thy praise, 
Our souls to Thee in worship raise, 
Make strong our faith, increase our light 
That we may know Thy name aright; 

3. Until we join the hosts that cry, 
“Holy art Thou, O Lord, most high!” 
And in the light of that blest place 
Fore’er behold Thee face to face. 

4. Glory to God the Father, Son, 
And Holy Spirit, Three in One! 
To Thee, O blessed Trinity, 
Be praise throughout eternity!
