WITHIN THESE WALLS, GREAT GOD

Don Fortner

(Tune: Blest Be The Tie #187 SM)

Within these walls, great God,

Show forth Your won’drous grace.

Your mercy in Christ Jesus give,

And show Your smiling face.

Your fam’ly bless today.

Your children comfort give.

Instruct us from Your Holy Word.

Your gracious presence give.

Our great, almighty God,

Come, make Your power known.

Set captive, wand’ring sinners free,

And bring Your chosen home.

Salvation full and free

Displays Your matchless love.

Teach us to love our God and set

Our hearts on things above.

Speak by Your servant now,

As he proclaims Your Word.

Help him to preach Christ crucified

And magnify our Lord.
