127. In Thy Great Name, O Lord, We Come

1 In Thy great Name, O Lord, we come,
To worship at Thy feet;
Oh, pour Thy holy Spirit down
On all that now shall meet.
We come to hear Jehovah speak,
To hear the Saviour’s voice;
Thy face and favor, Lord, we seek,
Now make our hearts rejoice.

2 Teach us to pray, and praise, and hear,
And understand Thy Word;
To feel Thy blissful presence near,
And trust our living Lord.
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.

3 Let sinners, Lord, thy goodness prove,
And saints rejoice in thee;
Let rebels be subdued by love,
And to the Saviour flee.
This house with grace and glory fill;
This congregation bless;
Thy great salvation now reveal
Thy glorious righteousness.
