	LORD, we come before Thee now,
	At Thy feet we humbly bow;
	Oh, do not our suit disdain!
	Shall we seek Thee, Lord, in vain?
	
	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.
	
	3. In Thine own appointed way,
	Now we seek Thee, here we stay;
	Lord, we know not how to go,
	Till a blessing Thou bestow.
	
	4. Send some message from Thy Word
	That may peace and joy afford;
	Let Thy Spirit now impart
	Full salvation to each heart.
	
	5. Comfort those who weep and mourn,
	Let the time of joy return;
	Those that are cast down lift up,
	Strong in faith, in love, and hope.
	
	6. Grant that those who seek may find
	Thee a gracious God and kind;
	Heal the sick, the captive free;
	Let us all rejoice in Thee.
