O Lord, Who Art with Two or Three
Author: Rev. H. L. Hastings Hymnal: Gloria Deo #356 (1901) Lyrics: 1 O Lord, who art with two or three,
Met in Thy name to worship Thee;
Grant Thou that we may know Thee near,
And Thy sweet Spirit’s whisper hear.
2 Touch’d with the feeling of our woe,
Thou dost our need and nature know;
Oh, may we now, to seek Thy face,
Come boldly to a throne of grace.
3 Thou art our helper, ever near,
Thou knowest all we feel or fear;
Bless us in whom Thy grace hath wrought,
Above our pray’r, above our thought.
4 We know not how to ask aright,
Unless Thy Spirit gives us light,
Oh, in the deep, unspoken cries,
Make all our wants and needs to rise. Topics: Prayer Languages: English Tune Title: ZEPHYR
