Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church ‎#233

233. Come Now, O Lord

1 Come now, O Lord, and teach us how to pray,
Teach us to ask yourselves form day to day
If we are Thine and Thine alone will be
Through earthly days and through eternity.

2 Come now, O Lord, and search each inmost thought,
Ask if we love and serve Thee as we ought.
Do we attempt to do Thy holy will?
Does constant love for Thee our bosoms fill?

3 Come now, O Lord, and from Thy bounteous store,
Teach lukewarm hearts to love Thee more and more,
And many sinners now from Thee astray
Do Thou convert and strengthen day by day.

4 Come now, O Lord, and as in days of old
Do thou to us Thy Spirit now unfold;
Pour forth Thy love and all abounding grace
Till we in spirit see Thee face to face.
