Lord, we come be­fore Thee now,
At Thy feet we hum­bly bow;
Oh, do not our suit dis­dain!
Shall we seek Thee, Lord, in vain?
In Thy tem­ple, lo, we wait,
Knocking at Thy mer­cy’s gate;
Now let all Thy chos­en race
See with joy Thy bless­èd face.

Oh, that we might lift our eyes!
Oh, that our poor hearts would rise
To the throne of grace above
And en­joy the sweets of love!
Lord, on Thee our souls de­pend;
In com­pass­ion now des­cend,
Fill our hearts with Thy rich grace,
Tune our lips to sing Thy praise.

Savior, wilt Thou not ap­pear?
Thou hast oft­en met us here;
Blessèd Mas­ter, don’t dis­miss
Us with­out a kiss of peace.
Take away the veil of sin;
Shed Thy glo­ry, Lord, with­in;
Give us dou­ble for our shame;
Let our por­tion be the Lamb.

In Thine own ap­point­ed way
Now we seek Thee, here we stay.
Lord, we know not how to go
Till a bless­ing Thou be­stow.
Send some mes­sage from Thy Word
That may joy and peace af­ford;
Let Thy Spir­it now im­part
Full sal­va­tion to each heart.

Open, Lord, the fount­ain wide,
Bury us in Thy dear side;
Thy rich mer­cy has no bounds,
Hide us, Sav­ior, in thy wounds.
Love us, wash us in Thy blood,
Make us kings and priests to God;
May new names to us be given,
Sons of God, and heirs of Hea­ven.

Comfort those who weep and mourn,
Let the time of joy re­turn;
Those that are cast down lift up,
Make them strong in faith and hope.
Grant that all may seek and find
Thee a gra­cious God and kind.
Heal the sick, the cap­tive free;
Let us all re­joice in Thee.

Son of Man, in this Thy day,
Thine abun­dant grace dis­play;
Preach the ac­cept­able year,
Bring the Gos­pel tid­ings near.
Sin and Sa­tan, Lord, de­throne,
Rule and reign in us alone;
Save us all from sin and wrath;
Make us heirs of God through faith.

Stablish, Lord, our hearts with grace,
Give us an abid­ing peace;
Then, though floods around us flow,
Though winds from all quar­ters blow,
Built up­on Thy­self, the Rock,
We en­dure the migh­ty shock;
We are ov­er and ab­ove
Conquerors through Thy match­less love.
