16705. Pray For The Blessing

1 Let us pray for a bless­ing of God,
To di­rect us in all that we do,
For the coun­sel and aid of His Spir­it,
Our vi­gor and strength to re­new.

Refrain:
Let us pray, let us pray,
And the bless­ing He will sure­ly im­part;
Let us pray, let us pray,
For a deep­er work of grace in the heart.

2 Let us pray for a bless­ing of God,
Tis a boon He will nev­er deny,
When the pray­er at His foot­stool of mer­cy
Is waft­ed by faith to the sky. [Refrain]

3 Let us pray that the bless­ing of God
Now may rest on us here as we meet,
That our souls may be filled with His glo­ry,
Our hearts with His good­ness replete. [Refrain]
