LyicsLORD, we come before thee now;
At thy feet we humbly bow.
O do not our suit disdain!
Shall we seek thee, Lord, in vain?
Lord, on thee our souls depend:
In compassion now descend,
Fill our hearts with thy rich grace,
Tune our lips to sing thy praise.
In thine own appointed way,
Now we seek thee; here to stay;
Lord, we know not how to go,
Till a blessing thou bestow.
Grant that all may seek and find
Thee a God supremely kind;
Heal the sick; the captive free;
Let us all rejoice in thee.
