44. Lord of heaven and earth and ocean

1 Lord of heaven and earth and ocean,
Hear us from thy bright abode;
While our hearts, with true devotion,
Own their great and gracious God.

2 Now with joy we come before thee,
Seek thy face, thy mercies sing;
Lord of life, of light and glory,
O, accept the praise we bring!

3 Health, and every needful blessing,
Unto us are daily shown;
And with joy thy love confessing,
Now we bend before thy throne.
