Again Our Earthly Cares We Leave

Again our earth­ly cares we leave

And to Thy courts re­pair;

Again with joy­ful feet we come

To meet our Sav­ior there.

Great Shep­herd of Thy peo­ple

hear;

Thy pre­sence now dis­play:

We bow with­in Thy house of pray­er;

Oh! give us hearts to pray.

The clouds which veil Thee from our sight

In pity

Lord! re­move:

Dispose our hearts to hear aright

The mes­sage of Thy love

Impressed with ho­ly fear and love

We kneel be­fore Thy face:

Oh! may the child­ren of Thy pow­er

Be child­ren of Thy grace!
