Lyics

AGAIN our earthly cares we leave,

And to thy courts repair;

Again, with joyful feet, we come

To meet our Saviour here.



Within these walls let holy peace,

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.



Show us some token of thy love,

Our fainting hope to raise,

And pour thy blessing from above,

That we may render praise.
