Twentieth (20th) Century Songs Part One ‎#100

100. Once More We Come

Once more we come before our God;
Once more His blessings ask,
O may not duty seem a load,
Nor worship prove a task.

Chorus:
O blessed Lord, we sing to Thee,
In glad triumphant strains;
No service can a burden be,
To hearts where Jesus reigns.

Father, Thy quick’ning Spirit send,
From heav’n in Jesus’ name,
And bid our waiting minds attend,
And put our souls in frame.

May we receive the word we hear
Each in an honest heart;
And keep the precious treasure there,
And never with it part.

To seek Thee all our hearts dispose;
To each Thy blessings suit,
And let the seed Thy servant sows,
Produce abundant fruit.
