Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #29 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Thy presence, gracious God, afford,
Prepare us to receive Thy word;
Now let Thy voice engage our ear,
And faith be mix'd with what we hear.
2 Distracting thoughts and cares remove,
And fix our hearts and hopes above:
With food divine may we be fed,
And satisfied with living bread.
3 To us thy sacred word apply,
With sov'reign power and energy;
And may we, in Thy faith and fear,
Reduce to practice what we hear.
4 Father, in us Thy Son reveal;
Teach us to know and do Thy will
Thy saving power and love display,
And guide us to the realms of day. Topics: Worship hymns of opening Languages: English
