HYMN 39.

Great Shepherd of Thy people hear
Thy presence now display;
As Thou hast given a place for prayer,
So give us hearts to pray.

Shew us some token of Thy love
Our feeble hope to raise;
And pour Thy blessing from above,
That we may render praise.

Within these walls let holy peace,
And love and concord dwell;
Here give the troubled conscience ease,
The wounded spirit heal.

O may the gospel's joyful sound,
Enforced by grace divine,
Awaken many sinners round,
And bend their wills to Thine.
