CCCIII. At the Opening of Worship

1 Father, behold us here,
According to thy word;
To worship without fear,
Our dear redeeming Lord;
O may thy light and truth now shine,
To warm each heart with love divine.

2 Drawn, wholly drawn, by thee,
To Jesus we are come,
And by they teaching we
Perceive our work is done;
Through which a title we obtain
As Kings and Priests, with thee to reign.

3 We bless thee, God of peace,
For life and glory giv'n,
To us and all the race
Call'd up from earth to heav'n;
Hasten great God, the day of love,
When ev'ry soul this grace shall prove.
