Hymns We Love, for Sunday Schools and All Devotional Meetings ‎#114

114. Hear Us in Thy Love

1 Hear us in Thy love, O Father,
While our pray’rs to heav’n ascend,
May we now hold sweet communion,
Heart to heart with Thee, dear Friend;
Every weakness, Lord, Thou knowest,
In Thy strength we would abide,
Blessed Jesus, draw us nearer,
With Thy fullness satisfied.

2 Soothe and cheer each burdened spirit,
Grant us peace amid earth’s strife,
Guide us till the veil be lifted,
Till our faith is lost in sight.
Light eternal shine within us,
Lead us as Thou deemest best,
May our lives in Thee perfected,
Gain at last the promised rest.

3 Fold us in Thy love, O Father,
Now incline Thy gracious ear,
Praise we bring and adoration,
O descend and meet us here.
Softly speak a word of blessing
To the hearts so truly Thine,
In the secret of Thy Presence
May new glory round us shine.
