49. Bless Us Now

1 Heavenly Father, we thy servants
Here are met with one accord,
Seeking for thy benediction
On the study of thy word;

Chorus:
Bless us now, bless us now,
While our hearts before thee bow;
Give to faith a glorious vision,
Of thyself, dear Lord, just now.

2 Open thou our understanding,
Break, O Lord, each mystic seal;
To this band of true disciples
Graciously thyself reveal. [Chorus]

3 To renew our consecration
We have gathered in thy name;
May this pentecostal power
Set our hearts with zeal aflame. [Chorus]

4 Fill our cups to overflowing
With the oil of joy divine;
Feast our souls, O Holy Spirit,
On the fruit of love's true vine. [Chorus]

5 E'er again we face the conflict
Raging in this sinful world,
Let us sit in sweet communion
Where love's banner is unfurl'd. [Chorus]

6 Till our hearts shall burn within us
Thy salvation to proclaim,
Then, O Lord, prepare thy servants
Thus to glorify thy name. [Chorus]
