Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn Book #XCVII (1791) Lyrics: 1 Lord, we come before thee now,
At thy feet we humbly bow;
O! do not our suit disdain,
Shall we seek thee, Lord, in vain?
2 Lord, on thee our souls depend,
In compassion now descend,
Fill our hearts with thy rich grace,
Tune our lips to sing thy praise.
3 In thine own appointed way,
Now we seek thee, here we stay;
Lord, we know not how to go,
Till a blessing thou bestow.
4 Send some message from the word,
That may joy and peace afford;
Let thy spirit now impart
Full salvation to each heart.
5 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.
6 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! Topics: Petition Languages: English
