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.
