Come Now, O Lord

Come now

O Lord

and teach us how to pray

Teach us to ask our­selves from day to day

If we are Thine and Thine alone will be

Through earth­ly days and through eter­ni­ty.

Come now

O Lord

and search each in­most thought

Ask if we love and serve Thee as we ought.

Do we at­tempt to do Thy ho­ly will?

Does con­stant love for Thee our bo­soms fill?

Come now

O Lord

and from Thy boun­te­ous store

Teach luke­warm hearts to love Thee more and more

And many sin­ners now from Thee astray

Do Thou con­vert and strength­en day by day.

Come now

O Lord

and as in days of old

Do Thou to us Thy Spir­it now un­fold;

Pour forth Thy love and all ab­ound­ing grace

Till we in spir­it see Thee face to face.
