Lyics

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?



Lord, on Thee our souls depend;

In compassion now descend;

Fill our hearts with Thy rich grace;

Tune our lips to sing Thy praise.



Comfort those who weep and mourn;

Let the time of joy return;

Those that are cast down lift up;

Make them strong in faith and hope.



Grant that all may seek and find

Thee a God supremely kind;

Heal the sick; the captive free;

Let us all rejoice in Thee.
