Author: Tresilian George Nicholas Hymnal: Church Book #332 (1890) Lyrics: 1 Lord, when before Thy throne we meet,
Thy goodness to adore,
From heaven, the eternal mercy-seat,
On us Thy blessing pour,
And make our inmost souls to be
A habitation meet for Thee.
2 Thy Body for our ransom given,
Thy Blood in mercy shed,--
With this immortal food from heaven,
Lord, let our souls be fed:
And as we round Thine altar kneel,
Help us Thy quickening grace to feel.
3 Be Thou, O Holy Spirit, nigh;
Accept the humble prayer,
The contrite soul's repentant sigh,
The sinner's heartfelt tear;
And let our adoration rise
As fragrant incense to the skies. Topics: The Means of Grace The Lord's Supper; Passion Week Languages: English Tune Title: WESSEX
