Lord, we meet to seek Thy face

lyricist: Witness Lee
Composer: John Bacchus Dykes

Lord

we meet to seek Thy face

And in one accord to pray;

We a holy priesthood are

Waiting on Thee here today.

Here together we would pray

Touch the highest and the best

Till our spirits mingled are

And Thy Church is built and blest.

As true priests we long to be

With our spirit sense Thy will

Thus to serve before Thee here

That Thy plan Thou may fulfill.

To the holiest place we come

Now to touch Thy throne of grace

By the inner sense to pray

And Thy Spirit’s flow to trace.

From Thy throne of grace to me

Rivers of Thy grace proceed;

Thus my spirit is refreshed

Helping me in time of need.

May our prayers expression give

To Thy Spirit’s mind alone;

Praying not by our desire

But according to Thine own.

Though with temporal matters pressed

Which we fain would bring to Thee

Rather than Thy care to seek

We would here Thy channel be.

Here we seek Thy list’ning ear

May Thy living water flow;

When Thy grace does satisfy

Only then Thy work we’ll know.
