May we now Thy promise claim?
Grant Thy presence from above,
And fill our souls with love.
Refrain:
While we come on bended knee,
Looking up by faith to Thee,
Thou, on whom we cast our care,
Bless this hour of prayer.
2 Welcome hour that softly brings
Peace and gladness on its wings;
Hallowed rest and calm repose
Thy tranquil joy bestows. [Refrain]
3 Now to us Thy grace impart,
Nearer draw each waiting heart;
Consecrate us all Thine own,
While here before Thy throne. [Refrain] Topics: Prayer; Promises Scripture: Psalm 55:17 Tune Title: [Lord, we gather in thy name]
