With thankful hearts we meet, O Lord

Verse 1

With thankful hearts we meet, O Lord, to sing thy praise, to hear thy word, To seek thy face in earnest prayer, To cast on thee each earthly care.

Verse 2

Dear Shepherd of thy chosen flock, Thy people's shield, their shadowing rock, Once more we meet to her thy voice, Once more before thee to rejoice.

Verse 3

Thy presence, Savior, now we seek, Confirm the strong, sustain the weak; Way-worn and tired we hither come; Give us a foretaste of our home.

Verse 4

Amen.
