Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #13 (1888) First Line: Again our earthly cares we leave Lyrics: 1 Again our earthly cares we leave,
And to thy courts repair;
Again with joyful feet we come,
To meet our Saviour here.
2 Great Shepherd of thy people, hear!
Thy presence now display;
We bow within thy house of prayer;
Oh! give us hearts to pray.
3 The clouds which vail thee from our sight,
In pity, Lord, remove:
Dispose our minds to hear aright
The message of thy love.
4 The feeling heart, the melting eye,
The humble mind bestow;
And shine upon us from on high,
To make our graces grow.
5 Show us some token of the love,
Our fainting hope to raise;
And pour thy blessing from above,
That we may render praise. Topics: Opening of Service Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER, OLD
