11153. Lord, Who Hast Sought Us Out, Unsought

1 Lord, who hast sought us out, unsought,
Arise, and make us whole:
Teach us to love Thee as we ought,
And give Thee all the soul.

2 Grant that all we, who meet, this hour,
Within Thy house of prayer,
May have Thy peace, and own Thy power,
But spare our weakness, spare!

3 Give us Thy grace, Thy faith, Thy love,
In all our hearts’ distress;
O Thou! in whom we live and move,
Look down, and hear, and bless.

4 Jesus! assume Messiah’s throne,
Thy foes before Thee driven,
Thy will, in grace and glory, done
In earth as ’tis in Heaven.
