Hymn

In Thy Great Name

In Thy great name, O Lord, we come,

To worship at Thy feet;

Oh, may Thy holy Spirit rest

On all that now shall meet.

We come to hear Jehovah speak,

To hear the Saviour’s voice:

Thy face and favor, Lord, we seek,

Now make our hearts rejoice.

Teach us to pray and praise, and hear,

And understand Thy word;

To feel Thy blissful presence near,

And trust our living Lord.

Here let Thy power and grace be felt;

Thy love and mercy known;

Our icy hearts, dear Jesus, melt,

And break this flinty stone.

Let sinners, Lord, Thy goodness prove,

And saints rejoice in Thee;

Let rebels be subdued by love,

And to the Saviour flee.

This house with grace and glory fill,

This congregation bless;

Thy great salvation now reveal,

Thy glorious righteousness.

Amen.
