Lord, we meet to seek Thy face
|
|
| 1. | Lord, we meet to seek Thy face |
| | And in one accord to pray; |
| | We a holy priesthood are, |
| | Waiting on Thee here today. |
| | Here together we would pray, |
| | Touch the highest and the best, |
| | Till our spirits mingled are |
| | And Thy Church is built and blest. |
| 2. | As true priests we long to be, |
| | With our spirit sense Thy will, |
| | Thus to serve before Thee here |
| | That Thy plan Thou may fulfill. |
| 3. | To the holiest place we come,' |
| | Now to touch Thy throne of grace, |
| | By the inner sense to pray |
| | And Thy Spirit's flow to trace. |
| 4. | From Thy throne of grace to me |
| | Rivers of Thy grace proceed; |
| | Thus my spirit is refreshed, |
| | Helping me in time of need. |
| 5. | May our prayers expression give |
| | To Thy Spirit's mind alone; |
| | Praying not by our desire, |
| | But according to Thine own. |
| 6. | Though with temporal matters pressed, |
| | Which we fain would bring to Thee, |
| | Rather than Thy care to seek, |
| | We would here Thy channel be. |
| 7. | Here we seek Thy list'ning ear, |
| | May Thy living water flow; |
| | When Thy grace does satisfy, |
| | Only then Thy work we'll know. |
