Great God, we in Thy courts appear

Verse 1

Great God, we in thy courts appear, With humble joy and holy fear, Thy wise injunctions to obey; Let saints and angels hail the day!

Verse 2

Great things, O everlasting son, Great things for us thy grace has done; Constrained by thy almighty love, Our willing feet to meet thee move.

Verse 3

In thy assemble here we stand, Obedient to thy great command; The sacred flood is full in view, And thy sweet voice invites us thro'.

Verse 4

The world, the spirit, and the bride Must not invite and be deny'd; Was not the lord who came to save, Interr'd in such a liquid grave?

Verse 5

Thus we, dear Savior, own thy name, Receive us rising from the stream; Then to thy table let us come, And dwell in Sion as our home.
