Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: Together in Song #444 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Dear Shepherd of your people, hear,
your presence now display;
as you have 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 your word,
in faith present our prayers;
and in the presence of our Lord
unburden all our cares.
4 The hearing ear, the seeing eye,
the humble mind bestow;
and shine upon us from on high,
to make our graces grow. Topics: Absolution; Anxiety; Faith; Fellowship in the Church; Healing; Humility; Invocation; Ministry of God's People; Nurturing God's People; Penitence; People of God; Prayer; Worship Gathering Scripture: 1 Peter 5:6-11 Languages: English Tune Title: MENDIP
