william boyce - i have surely built thee an house lyrics
i have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever
but will god indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that i have builded?
yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, … o lord my god:
that thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which thou hast said, my namе shall be there:
and hеarken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive
if there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence…; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be;
what prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive
and the lord said unto [solomon], i have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: i have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually
amen. hallelujah
