Common Praise ‎#312

312. Lord Jesus Christ, be present now

1 Lord Jesus Christ, be present now,
and let your Holy Spirit bow
all hearts in love and fear today
to hear the truth and keep your way.

2 Open our lips to sing your praise,
our hearts in true devotion raise,
strengthen our faith, increase our light,
that we may know your name aright.
