The New Christian Hymnal ‎#17

17. 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?
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,
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,
Till a blessing Thou bestow.

4 Send some message from Thy Word,
That may joy and peace afford;
Let Thy Spirit now impart
Full salvation to each heart,
Full salvation to each heart.

5 Comfort those who weep and mourn;
Let the time of joy return;
Heal the sick, the captive free;
Let us all rejoice in Thee,
Let us all rejoice in Thee.
