O Thou before whose presence

Author: S. J. Stone Appears in 68 hymnals Topics: Activity and Zeal Lyrics: 1 O Thou before whose presence Naught evil may come in, Yet who dost look in mercy Down on this world of sin; Oh, give us noble purpose To set the sin-bound free, And Christ-like tender pity To seek the lost for Thee. 2 Fierce is our subtle foeman: The forces at his hand With woes that none can number, Despoil the pleasant land; All they who war against them, In strife so keen and long, Must in their Savior's armor Be stronger than the strong. 3 So hast Thou wrought among us The great things that we see: For things that are we thank Thee, And for the things to be. For bright hope is uplifting Faint hands and feeble knees, To strive beneath Thy blessing For greater things than these. 4 Lead on, O Love and Mercy, O Purity and Power, Lead on till peace eternal Shall close this battle-hour: Till all who prayed and struggled To set their brethren free, In triumph, meet to praise Thee, Most Holy Trinity.

Then in mercy, Lord, draw near them, Then their sinking hopes sustain; Thus supported, Thus supported Bid their zeal revive again. 3 In the midst of opposition May they trust, O Lord in thee: When success attends their mission, May thy servants humble be; Never leave them, Never leave them, Till thy face in heav'n they see.
