Hymn 526
Our blessed Lord, in this Thy presence
- Our blessed Lord, in this Thy presence sweet.
Behold us lowly bending at Thy feet.
Vain would we meet Thee on this hallowed ground
Where ev'ry Blood-bought blessing may be found.
- Drawn by the strength of Thine own mighty love.
Gladly we come Thy healing touch to prove.
All power is Thine-we echo
back Thy word-In heaven and earth,
Thou never-changing Lord.
- We grasp Thy promises so sure, so free.
To all who in their weakness call on Thee.
Th'effectual fervent I Thou dost receive,
With strength renewing all who dare believe.
- If to Thine eye that pierces deep within
There stands refilled the hidden stain of sin
Still unconfessed, Oh, grant us grace that we
May purge our lives afresh and purer be.
- Thus joined to Thee our living Head above,
Thy life was share, and in Thy triumph move:
Knit with our fellow members here below.
From strength to strength we shall Thy fullness know.
Christly Living
