Be with Us, Gracious Lord, Today

 

VERSE 1

Be with us, gracious Lord, today;

This house we dedicate to Thee;

O hear Thy servants as they pray,

And let Thine ear attentive be!

 

VERSE 2

Within these walls let holy peace,

Let love and truth be always found;

May burdened hearts and sweet release,

And souls with richest grace be crowned.

 

VERSE 3

May here be heard the suppliant’s sigh,

The weary enter into rest;

Here may the contrite to Thee cry,

And waiting souls be richly blessed.

 

VERSE 4

Here when the Gospel sound is heard,

And here proclaimed the saving Name,

May hearts be quickened, moved and stirred,

And souls be kindled into flame.

 

VERSE 5

Here may the dead be made to live,

The dumb to sing, the deaf to hear;

And do Thou to the humble give

Pardon and peace instead of fear.

 

VERSE 6

Make this, O Lord, Thine own abode;

Thy presence in these courts be giv’n;

Be this, indeed, the house of God,

And this in truth the gate of Heav’n.
