| Tune: | [Lord Jesus Christ be present now] |
1 Lord Jesus Christ, be present now,
And let Thy Holy Spirit bow
All hearts in love and fear today,
To hear the truth and keep Thy way.
2 Unseal our lips to sing Thy praise,
Our hearts in true devotion raise;
Our faith increase, our minds enlight,
That we may know Thy name aright:
3 Until we join the host that cry,
"Holy art Thou, O Lord most High!"
And 'mid the light of that blest place
Shall gaze upon Thee face to face.
4 Glory to God, the Father, Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One!
To Thee, O blessed Trinity,
Be praise throughout eternity!
