African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal ‎#40

40. Once More We Come Before Our God

1 Once more we come before our God;
Once more His blessings ask.
O may not duty seem a load,
O may not duty seem a load,
Nor worship prove a task.

2 Father, Thy quickening Spirit send
From heaven in Jesus’ name,
To make our waiting minds attend,
To make our waiting minds attend,
And put our souls in frame.

3 May we receive the Word we hear,
Each in an honest heart;
And keep the precious treasure there,
And keep the precious treasure there,
And never with it part.

4 To seek Thee all our hearts dispose,
To each Thy blessings suit;
And let the seed Thy servant sows,
And let the seed Thy servant sows
Produce abundant fruit.

Amen.
