VERSE 1
Our blessed Lord, in this Thy presence sweet,
Behold us lowly bending at Thy feet,
Vain would we meet Thee on this hallowed ground
Where ev'ry Blood-bought blessing may be found.
VERSE 2
Drawn by the strength of Thine own mighty love,
Gladly we come Thy healing touch to prove.
All power is Thine - we echo back Thy word,
In heaven and earth, Thou never changing Lord.
VERSE 3
We grasp Thy promises so sure, so free,
To all who in their weakness call on Thee.
Th'effectual fervent prayer Thou dost receive,
With strength renewing all who dare believe.
VERSE 4
If to Thine eye that pierces deep within
There stands refilled the hidden stain of sin
Still unconfessed, Oh, grant us grace that we
May purge our lives afresh and purer be.
VERSE 5
Thus joined to Thee our living Head above,
Thy life was share, and in Thy truimph move;
Knit with our fellow members here below,
From strength to strength we shall Thy fullness know.
