Opening Worship

Lord, we come before Thee now,

At Thy feet we humbly bow:

O do not our suit disdain;

Shall we seek Thee, Lord, in vain?

Shall we seek Thee, Lord, in vain?

In Thine own appointed way,

Now we seek Thee, here we stay:

Lord, we know not how to go

Till a blessing Thou bestow,

Till a blessing Thou bestow.

Send some message from Thy word

That may joy and peace afford;

Let Thy Spirit now impart

Full salvation to each heart,

Full salvation to each heart.

Comfort those who weep and mourn,

Let the time of joy return;

Those that are cast down, lift up;

Make them strong in faith and hope,

Make them strong in faith and hope.

Grant that all may seek and find

Thee a gracious God and kind;

Heal the sick, the captive free,

Let us all rejoice in Thee,

Let us all rejoice in Thee.

Amen.
