Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: Common Praise #454 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Great Shepherd of thy people, hear,
thy presence now display;
as thou hast given a place for prayer,
so give us hearts to pray.
2 Within these walls let holy peace
and love and concord dwell;
here give the troubled conscience ease,
the wounded spirit heal.
3 May we in faith receive thy word,
in faith present our prayers,
and in the presence of our Lord
unbosom all our cares.
4 The hearing ear, the seeing eye,
the contrite heart, bestow;
and shine upon us from on high,
that we in grace may grow. Topics: Proper 24 Year C; Unity Scripture: 2 Chronicles 6:20-21 Languages: English Tune Title: BELGRAVE
