Lyrics from A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Use of the Latter Day Saints, 1844

1. Lord, we come before thee now,
At thy feet we humbly bow;
O! do not our suit disdain;
Shall we seek thee, Lord, in vain?

2. In thine own appointed way
Now we seek thee - here we stay;
Lord, from hence we would not go,
Till a blessing thou bestow.

3. Send some message from thy word,
That may joy and peace afford;
Comfort those who weep and mourn,
Let “the time of love” return.

4. Grant we all may seek, and find,
Thee our gracious God, and kind;
Heal the sick, the captive free,
Let us all rejoice in thee.

1. Lord, we come before thee now,
At thy feet we humbly bow;
O! do not our suit disdain;
Shall we seek thee, Lord, in vain?

2. In thine own appointed way
Now we seek thee - here we stay;
Lord, from hence we would not go
Till a blessing thou bestow.

3. Send some message from thy word,
That may joy and peace afford;
Comfort those who weep and mourn,
Let "the time of love" return.

4. Grant we all may seek, and find,
Thee our gracious God, and kind;
Heal the sick, the captive free,
Let us all rejoice in thee.
