1 Saviour, send a blessing to us,
Send a blessing from above;
All thy truth and mercy show us,
Be thou here in power and love;
Grant thy presence,
Be it ours thy grace to prove.

2 Nothing have we, Lord, without thee,
But thy promise is our stay;
And thy people must not doubt thee;
Saviour, now thy power display;
And let gladness
Fill thy people's hearts to-day.
