Text:Now condescend, Almighty King
Tune:WOODSTOCK
Composer:Dutton

3. Now condescend, Almighty King

1 Now condescend, Almighty King,
To bless this happy throng;
And kindly listen, while we sing
Our grateful morning song.

2 We come to own the Power Divine,
That watches o'er our days;
For this our cheerful voices join
In hymns of grateful praise.

3 We come to learn thy holy word,
And ask thy tender care;
Before thy throne, Almighty Lord,
We bend in humble prayer.

4 May we in safety pass this day,
From sin and danger free;
And ever walk in that sure way
That leads to heaven and thee
