Behold, how plea­sant and how good
Then why not take it now?
Ye shall not seek Me in vain;
May we praise Thee with the Son,
Lord, save me.
List His name who bless­ing gave?
Poor and sin­ful though we are;
We Thy Word ob­ey,
Would you seek His bless­ing?
And your hearts to Him unite.
Truer and fond­er, Sav­ior and friend!
Hear us, O Sav­ior, when we pray,
Hear us, O Sav­ior, while we pray,
Each wan­der­ing thought while Thou hast taught,
Or will His com­ing o’er­whelm you with woe?
Forgiveness for the sin­ning,
Here they stand, hope­ful band,
Oh, that to­day they might fall,
start
Wealth of earth can not com­pare;

con­fess­ing

Together dwell in bro­ther­hood,
To Him, thy Sav­ior, bow.
Sound of abun­dance of rain.
Who from Both with Both is One.
O save me;
All His migh­ty pow­er to save?
Grant Thy lov­ing care.
While we pray.
Keep trust­ing ev­er in His word.
Who is rea­dy to for­give;
Unto Thee bless­ing, glo­ry and praise:
Grant us the pro­mised show’rs to­day—
Grant us the pro­mised show­ers to­day,
Where’er we be, still close to Thee,
Anxiously wait­ing and rea­dy to go?
We hum­bly wait Thy bless­ing:
Waiting for Thy bless­ing.
Now as on Je­sus we call!
Humbly we would look ab­ove,
That His glo­ry you may share.
