fpGreat Shepherd of thy people, hear;

thy presence now display;

as thou hast given a place for prayer,

so give us hearts to pray.

mfShow us some token of thy love

Our fainting hope to raise,

And pour thy blessing from above

That we may render praise.

mfWithin these walls let holy peace

and love and concord dwell;

here give the troubled conscience ease;

the wounded spirit heal.

mfThe hearing ear, the seeing eye,

the contrite heart bestow;

and shine upon us from on high,

that we in grace may grow.

mfMay we in faith receive thy Word,

in faith address our prayers;

and in the presence of the Lord

unburden all our cares.
