        Lord, We Come Before Thee Now
      
    
    
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
    
      
        
        
          
          
        
        
        
        
        
          
        
          
          
        
          
        
        
      
              
      
      
        
          
            
            
              
              
              
              
              
                
                Lord, We Come Before Thee Now
          
                
                  
                    
  
    1. Lord, we come before thee now;
    At thy feet we humbly bow;
    Do not thou our suit disdain;
    Shall we seek thee, Lord, in vain?
  
 
  
    2. In thine own appointed way,
    Now we seek thee; here we stay;
    Lord, from hence we would not go,
    Till a blessing thou bestow.
  
 
  
    3. Send some message from thy word
    That may joy and peace afford;
    Comfort those who weep and mourn;
    Let “the time of love” return.
  
 
  
    4. Grant we all may seek and find
    Thee, our gracious God and kind;
    Heal the sick, the captive free,
    Let us all rejoice in thee.
