Great God, the followers of Thy Son

Henry Ware • English

Verse 1

Great God! the followers of Thy Son, We bow before Thy mercy-seat, To worship Thee, the Holy One, And pour our wishes at Thy feet.

Verse 2

O, grant Thy blessing here to-day! O, give Thy people joy and peace! The tokens of Thy love display, And favor, that shall never cease.

Verse 3

We seek the truth which Jesus brought; His path of light we long to tread; Here be his holy doctrines taught, And here their purest influence shed.

Verse 4

May faith, and hope, and love abound; Our sins and errors be forgiven; And we, from day to day, be found Children of God, and heirs of heaven.
