LyicsO Lord, our languid souls inspire,
For here, we trust, thou art;
Send down a coal of heav'nly fire,
To warm each waiting heart.
Dear Shepherd of thy people, here,
Thy presence now display;
As thou hast giv'n a place for pray'r,
So give us hearts to pray.
Show us some token of thy love,
Our fainting hopes to raise;
And pour thy blessings from above,
That we may render praise.
Within these walls let holy praise,
And love, and concord dwell;
Here give the troubled conscience ease,
The wounded spirit heal.
The feeling heart, the melting eye,
The humble mind bestow;
And shine upon us from on high,
To make our graces grow.
May we in faith receive thy word,
In faith present our pray'rs;
And in the presence of our Lord,
Unbosom all our cares.
And may the gospel's joyful sound,
Enforc'd by mighty grace,
Awaken many sinners round,
To come and fill the place.
