GREAT Shepherd of Thy people, hear; | p Within these walls, let holy peace
Thy presence now display:

As Thou hast given a place for prayer,
So give us hearts to pray.

And love and concord dwell:

Here give the troubled conscience ease,
The wounded spirit heal.
4.

May we in faith receive Thy word,

In faith present our prayers;

And in the presence of our Lord
Unbosom all our cares.

The hearing ear, the seeing eye,

The contrite heart bestow;

cres. And shine upon us from on high,
That we in grace may grow. Amen.

A-men.

"Where two or three are gathered together in My Name, there am I in the midst."

I.

JESUS, where'er Thy people meet,
There they behold Thy mercy-seat:

3.

Here may we prove the power of prayer
To strengthen faith and banish care,

Where'er they seek Thee, Thou art found, cres. To teach our faint desires to rise,

And every place is hallowed ground.

2.

For Thou, within no walls confined,
Inhabitest the humble mind:

Such ever bring Thee where they come,
And going, take Thee to their home.

5.

And bring all heaven before our eyes.

4.

t[Behold, at Thy commanding word,
We stretch the curtain and the cord;
Come Thou and fill this wider space,
And bless us with a large increase.]

"O Thou that hearest prayer, unto Thee shall all flesh come."

3.

LORD, when we bend before Thy throne, cres. When our responsive tongues essay,

And our confessions pour,

Teach us to feel the sins we own,

And hate what we deplore.

2.

p Our broken spirits, pitying, see,
And penitence impart;

Then let a kindling glance from Thee
Beam hope upon the heart.

5.

Their grateful hymns to raise, Grant that our souls may join the lay, And mount to Thee in praise.

Let faith each meek petition fill,
And waft it to the skies;

And teach our hearts 'tis goodness still
That grants it, or denies. Amen.
