4976. O Holy Lord, Our God

1. O holy Lord, our God,
By heav’nly hosts adored,
Hear us, we pray;
To Thee the cherubim,
Angels and seraphim,
Unceasing praises hymn,
Their homage pay.

2. Here give Thy Word success,
And this Thy servant bless,
His labors own;
And while the sinner’s Friend
His life and words commend,
The Holy Spirit send,
And make him known.

3. May every passing year
More happy still appear
Than this glad day;
With numbers fill the place,
Adorn Thy saints with grace,
Thy truth may all embrace,
O Lord, we pray.

4. O Lord, our God, arise;
And now, before our eyes,
Thy arm make bare;
Unite our hearts in love
Till, raised to Heav’n above,
We all its fullness prove,
And praise Thee there.
