Author: J. Newton (1725-1807) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #363a (1987) Lyrics: 1 Great Shepherd of your people, hear!
your presence now display;
as you have given a place for prayer,
so give us hearts to pray.
2 Within these walls let holy peace
and love and friendship dwell;
here give the troubled conscience ease,
the wounded spirit heal.
3 May we in faith receive your word,
in faith present our prayers;
and in the presence of our Lord
unburden 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: Christ the Friend of Sinners; Christ the Healer; Easter 1 The Upper Room; God's Church Penitence and Prayer; Lent 3, The King and the Kingdom Suffering; Pentecost 2 The Church's Unity and Fellowship; The Remnant of Israel Languages: English Tune Title: ABRIDGE
