Lord, we come before Thee now,

by William Hammond

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 30 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

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? Shall we seek Thee, Lord, in vain?

Verse 2

Lord, on Thee our souls depend; In compassion now descend, Fill our hearts with Thy rich grace, Tune our lips to sing Thy praise, Tune our lips to sing Thy praise.

Verse 3

Send some message from Thy word That may joy and peace afford; Let Thy Spirit now impart Full salvation to each heart, Full salvation to each heart.

Verse 4

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, Make them strong in faith and hope.

Verse 5

Grant that all may seek, and find Thee a God supremely kind; Heal the sick, the captive free; Let us all rejoice in Thee, Let us all rejoice in Thee.
