Oh, how blessed is this place, Filled with solace, light, and grace! 2 Lord, my God, I come before thee, Come thou also unto me; Where we find thee and adore thee, There a heav'n on earth must be. To my heart, O enter thou, Let it be thy temple now! 3 Here thy praise is gladly chanted, Here thy seed is duly sown; Let my soul, where it is planted, Bring forth precious sheaves alone, So that all I hear may be Fruitful unto life in me. 4 Thou my faith increase and quicken, Let me keep thy gift divine, Howsoe'er temptations thicken; May thy Word still o'er me shine As my guiding star through life, As my comfort in my strife. 5 Speak, O God, and I will hear thee, Let thy will be done indeed; May I undisturbed draw near thee While thou dost thy people feed. Here of live the fountain flows, Here is balm for all our woes. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 27:4 Languages: English Tune Title: NEANDER

O thou that hear'st when sinners cry

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #413 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Longing for Christ and God Lyrics: 1 O thou that hear'st when sinners cry, Though all my crimes before thee lie, Behold them not with angry look, But blot their mem'ry from thy book. 2 Create my nature pure within, And form my soul averse to sin; Let thy good Spirit ne'er depart, Not hide thy presence from my heart. 3 I cannot live without thy light, Cast out and banished from thy sight; Thy holy joys, my God, restore, And guard me, that I fall no more. 4 A broken heart, my God, my King, Is all the sacrifice I bring; The God of grace will ne'er despise A broken heart for sacrifice. 5 My soul lies humbled in the dust, And owns thy dreadful sentence just: Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, And save the soul condemned to die. 6 Then will I teach the world thy ways; Sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace; I'll lead them to my Saviour's blood, And they shall praise a pard'ning God.
