Make me aware of thee, O Lord

Make me aware of thee, O Lord

Representative Text

1 Make me aware of thee, O Lord,
As in thy temple I give praise;
Attentive to thy holy word,
Or in glad song my voice to raise.
That I may feel thy Spirit’s power,
O come, invade my soul this hour.

2 Make me aware of thee, O Lord,
As supplicant, I bow the knee.
My faith, though small, wilt thou reward
That contact I may make with thee
And thus obtain that inward calm
That makes of life a living psalm.

3 Make me aware of thee, O Lord,
As with thy children I unite
To share that wondrous heritage
Of Calvary and Easter light.
O Master, let thy people be
Consistently aware of thee.
