Dear Jesus here we now attend

1 Dear Jesus here we now attend,
We pray thy blessed spirit send!
By which the way of life is shown,
And all thy sacred truths made known.

2 Prepare our lips to sing thy praise
And fill our minds with heavenly grace;
Our faith increase, our love perfect,
And in the way of truth direct.

3 Cause us to sing with one accord
To thee our holy, holy Lord!
Until we see thy glorious face,
And praise thee with eternal praise.
