496. In thy great name, O Lord, we come

1 In thy great name, O Lord, we come,
To worship at thy feet;
O pour thy holy Spirit down
On all that now shall meet.

2 We come to hear Jehovah speak,
To hear the Saviour’s voice:
Thy face and favour, Lord, we seek,
Now make our hearts rejoice.

3 Teach us to pray, and praise, and hear,
And understand thy word;
To feel thy blissful presence near,
And trust our living Lord.

4 Here let thy pow'r and grace be felt;
Thy love and mercy known;
Our icy hearts, dear Jesus, melt,
And break this flinty stone.

5 Let sinners, Lord, thy goodness prove,
And saints rejoice in thee;
Let rebels be subdu'd by love,
And to the Saviour flee.

6 This house with grace and glory fill,
This congregation bless;
Thy great salvation now reveal;
Thy glorious righteousness.
