At the Opening of Worship

John Murray • English

Primary Scripture: 1 Chronicles 16:8-9

Verse 1

Father, behold us here, According to thy word; To worship without fear, Our dear redeeming Lord; O may thy light and truth now shine, To warm each heart with love divine.

Verse 2

Drawn, wholly drawn, by thee, To Jesus we are come, And by they teaching we Perceive our work is done; Through which a title we obtain As Kings and Priests, with thee to reign.

Verse 3

We bless thee, God of peace, For life and glory giv'n, To us and all the race Call'd up from earth to heav'n; Hasten great God, the day of love, When ev'ry soul this grace shall prove.
