Lord, we come before thee now

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

Send some message from thy wordThat may joy and peace afford;Let thy Spirit now impartFull salvation to each heart,

4

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.

5

Grant that all may seek, and findThee a God supremely kind;Heal the sick, the captive free;Let us all rejoice in thee.
