Behold We Come, Dear Lord, to Thee

Behold we come

dear Lord

to Thee

And bow be­fore Thy throne;

We come to of­fer on our knee

Our vows to Thee alone.

Whate’er we have

whate’er we are

Thy boun­ty free­ly gave;

Thou dost here in mer­cy spare

And wilt here­af­ter save.

Come then

my soul

bring all thy pow­ers

And grieve thou hast no more;

Bring every day thy choic­est hours

And thy great God ad­ore.

But

above all

pre­pare thy heart

On this His own blest day;

In its sweet task to bear thy part

And sing

and love

and pray.
