William Hammond (1745) • English

Primary Scripture: Genesis 32:26

Verse 1

Lord, we come before Thee now, At Thy feet we humbly bow; O do not our suit disdain; Shall we seek Thee, Lord, in vain?

Verse 2

Lord, on Thee our souls depend; In compassion now descend; Fill our hearts with Thy rich grace, Tune our lips to sing Thy praise.

Verse 3

In Thine own appointed way, Now we seek Thee, here we stay; Lord, we know not how to go, Till a blessing Thou bestow.

Verse 4

Send some message from Thy Word, That may joy and peace afford; Let Thy Spirit now impart Full salvation to each heart.

Verse 5

Grant that all may seek and find Thee, a gracious God and kind: Heal the sick, the captive free; Let us all rejoice in Thee. AMEN.
