I come to Thee for rest. 2 Lord, we would bless Thee for Thy
ceaseless care,

2 The spirits that surround Thy throne Hear, O Christ, the praises
May bear the burning bliss; That Thy church now raises.
But that is surely theirs alone,
Since they have never, never known 3 O Thou fount of blessing,
A fallen world like this. Purify my spirit,
Trusting only in Thy merit;
3 O how shall I, whose native sphere Like the holy angels
Is dark, whose mind is dim, Who behold Thy glory,

And on my naked spirit bear Let Thy will,

1 God reveals His presence; 3 Within these walls let holy peace
Let us now adore Him, And love and concord dwell;
And with awe appear before Him; Here give the troubled conscience ease,
God is in His temple; The wounded spirit heal.
All within keep silence,
Prostrate lie with deepest reverence; 4 The hearing ear, the seeing eye,
Him alone The contrite heart bestow;
God we own, And shine upon us from on high,
Him our God and Saviour: That we in grace may grow.
Praise His name for ever.
5 May we in faith receive Thy word,
2 God reveals His presence: In faith present our prayers,
Hear the harps resounding, And in the presence of our Lord
See the crowds the throne surrounding: Unbosom all our cares.
