91. From Thy heav'nly home

From Thy heav'nly home,
Son of God, make known
Now Thy pow'r, Thy Spirit send us,
Strength for this great work to lend us,
That we all may be
Wholly giv'n to Thee.

Thou our hearts prepare,
Shed Thy gladness there,
That we boldly may confess Thee
As our only Lord, and bless Thee
Whose most precious blood
Flow'd to work our good.

Draw our hearts above,
Fill them with Thy love,
So to keep the vows we offer,
Scorning all that earth can proffer,
Truly day by day
Walking in Thy way.

And as we draw near
For Thy blessing here,
May Thy grace in heavenly showers
Quicken all our inner powers,
And Thy light and peace
In our hearts increase.

Let Thy Spirit, Lord,
Promised in Thy Word,
Keep us steadfastly in union
With Thy faithful saints' communion,
Till in yon blest place
We behold Thy face!
