Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #250 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Great Shepherd of thy people, hear Lyrics: 1 Great Shepherd of thy people, hear,
thy presence now display;
as thou hast giv'n a place for pray'r,
so give us hearts to pray.
2 Within these walls let holy peace
and love and concord dwell;
here give the troubled conscience ease,
the wounded spirit heal.
3 May we in faith receive thy word,
in faith present our pray'rs,
and in the presence of our Lord
unbosom all our cares.
4 The hearing ear, the seeing eye,
the contrite heart, bestow;
and shine upon us from on high,
that we in grace may grow. Topics: Healing; The Witnessing Community Scripture: 1 Kings 8:30-53 Languages: English Tune Title: OSWALD'S TREE
