Here from the World We Turn

Here from the world we turn

Je­sus to seek;

Here may His lov­ing voice ten­der­ly speak!

Jesus

our dear­est friend

while at Thy feet we bend

O let Thy smile des­cend! ’Tis Thee we seek.

Come

ho­ly Com­fort­er

pre­sence di­vine

Now in our long­ing hearts gra­cious­ly shine;

O for Thy migh­ty pow­er! O for a bless­èd show­er

Filling this hal­lowed hour with joy di­vine!

Savior

Thy work re­vive; here may we see

Those who are dead in sin quick­ened by Thee;

Come to our hearts to­night

make ev­ery bur­den light;

Cheer Thou our wait­ing sight; we long for Thee.
