1237. Dear Lord, Ascended Savior

1. Dear Lord, ascended Savior,
Here once again
We make our consecration,
In Thy dear name.

2. Christ Jesus, our Redeemer,
Behold us now;
O breathe on us Thy Spirit—
Lowly we bow.

3. We turn from all our wanderings,
To seek Thy face;
Heal Thou our hearts and strengthen,
By Thy sweet grace.

4. O may this consecration,
In Thee complete,
Be evermore enduring,
Till Thee we meet.
