<p>Dear Shepherd of Thy people, hear;<br>
Thy presence now display;<br>
As Thou hast given a place for prayer,<br>
So give us hearts to pray.</p>
<p>O Lord, our languid souls inspire,<br>
For here, we trust, thou art!<br>
Send down a coal of heav&#8217;nly fire,<br>
To warm each waiting heart.</p>
<p>Show us some token of Thy love,<br>
Our fainting hope to raise;<br>
And pour Thy blessings from above,<br>
That we may render praise.</p>
<p>Within these walls let holy peace<br>
And love and concord dwell;<br>
Here give the troubled conscience ease,<br>
The wounded spirit heal.</p>
<p>The feeling heart, the melting eye,<br>
The humble mind bestow;<br>
And shine upon us from on high,<br>
To make our graces grow!</p>
<p>May we in faith receive Thy Word,<br>
In faith present our prayers;<br>
And, in the presence of our Lord,<br>
Unbosom all our cares.</p>
<p>And may the Gospel&#8217;s joyful sound<br>
Enforced by mighty grace,<br>
Awaken many sinners round,<br>
To come and fill the place.</p>
