266. Lord, when before Thy throne we meet

1 Lord, when before Thy throne we meet,
Thy goodness to adore,
From heaven, th'eternal mercy-seat,
On us Thy blessing pour,
And make our inmost souls to be
A habitation meet for Thee.

2 Thy body for our ransom given,
The blood in mercy shed--
With this immortal food from heaven,
Lord, let our souls be fed;
And as we at Thy board appear
Grabt us Thy quick'ning grace to share.

3 Be Thou, O Holy Spirit, nigh!
Accept the humble prayer,
The contrite soul's repentant sigh,
The sinner's heartfelt tear;
And let our adoration rise
As fragrant incense to the skies.
