A Selection of Hymns ‎#CCCLXIII

CCCLXIII. A Blessing humbly requested

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 In thy own appointed way,
Now we seek thee, here we stay;
Lord, from hence we would not go,
'Till a blessing thou bestow.

3 Send some message from thy word,
That may joy and peace afford;
Let thy spirit now impart
Full salvation to each heart.

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