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.
