Lyrics
Poet: William Hammond (1719 - 1783)
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.
