We come again, dear Savior

Representative Text

1 We come again, dear Saviour,
To cast on Thee our care,
And spend in sweet communion
Another hour in prayer.

Refrain:
We gather in Thy name,
Thy promise, Lord, we claim;
O touch our hearts and let our love
Be kindled to a flame.

2 We come again, dear Saviour,
For new supplies and grace,
And faith in ev’ry trial
Thy guardian hand to trace. [Refrain]

3 We come again, dear Saviour,
To ask that Thou wilt give,
The needed strength to help us
Each moment that we live. [Refrain]

4 We come again, dear Saviour,
Now fill our hearts with love,
And grant to each a foretaste
Of heav’n and home above. [Refrain]
