Jehovah, let me now adore Thee

Verse 1

Jehovah, let me now adore you, For where is there a God such, Lord, as you? With joyful songs I come before you; Oh, let your Spirit teach my heart anew To praise you in his name through whom alone Our songs can praise you, through your blessed Son.

Verse 2

O Father, draw me to my Savior That your dear Son may draw me then to you. Your Spirit guide my whole behavior And rule both sense and reason in me, too, That, Lord, your peace from me may ne'er depart But wake sweet melodies within my heart.

Verse 3

Grant that your Spirit prompt my praises; Then shall my singing surely please your ear. Sweet are the sounds my heart then raises; My prayer in truth and spirit you will hear. Then shall your Spirit lift my heart in love To sing these psalms to you, my God above.

Verse 4

For he can plead for me with sighings That are not speakable by lips defiled. He bids me pray with earnest cryings, Bears witness that I am your precious child, Joint heir with Christ, and thus may dare to say: O heav'nly Father, hear me when I pray!
