Text: | Lord Jesus Christ, Be Present Now |
Translator: | Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 |
Tune: | HERR JESU CHRIST, DICH ZU UNS WEND |
1. Lord Jesus Christ, be present now,
Our hearts in true devotion bow,
Thy Spirit send with grace divine,
And let thy truth within us shine.
2. Unseal our lips to sing thy praise,
Our souls to thee in worship raise,
Make strong our faith, increase our light
That we may know thy name aright.
3. Till we with saints in glad accord
Sing "Holy, holy is the Lord"!
And in the light of heaven above
Shall see thy face and know thy love.
4. All glory to the Father, Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One!
To thee, O blessed Trinity,
Be praise throughout eternity!
