Lord, Before Thy Throne We Bend

Lord

be­fore Thy throne we bend;

Now to Thee our pray­ers as­cend:

Servants to our mas­ter true

Lo! we yield Thee hom­age due:

Children

to Thy throne we fly

Abba

Fa­ther

hear our cry!

Low be­fore Thee

Lord! we bow;

We are weak—but migh­ty Thou;

Sore dis­tressed

yet sup­pli­ant still

Here we wait Thy ho­ly will;

Bound to earth

and root­ed here

Till our Sav­ior God ap­pear.

Leave us not be­neath the pow­er

Of temp­ta­tion’s dark­est hour:

Swift to seal their cap­tives’ doom

See our foes ex­ult­ing come!

Jesus

Sav­ior! yet be nigh

Lord of life and vic­to­ry.
