2. 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 to-day
To hear the truth and keep Thy way.

2 Open 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!
