Author: Bartholomäus Crasselius, 1667-1724; Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #446 (1982) Meter: 9.10.9.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Jehovah, let me now adore you,
For where, Lord, is there such a God as you?
With joyful songs I come before you;
Oh, let your Spirit teach my heart anew
To praise you in his name through whom alone
Our songs can please you through your blessed Son!
2 O Father, draw me to my Savior
That your dear Son may draw me then to you;
Your Spirit guide my whole behavior
And sanctify my sense and reason too
That, Lord, your peace may not from me depart
But wake sweet melodies within my heart.
3 While, Lord, my heart, in prayer ascending,
Through your own Holy Spirit reaches you;
Your heart, O Father, kindly bending,
Sends answering love my spirit to renew,
Rejoicing my petition to fulfill
Which I have made according to your will.
4 And what your Spirit, Lord, has taught me
To seek from you must needs be such a prayer
As you will grant through him who bought me
And raised me up to be your child and heir.
In Jesus' name I boldly seek your face
And take from you, my Father, grace for grace.
