Lord Jesus Christ, Be Present Now

lyricist: Wilhelm II of Sachsen-Weimar, 1651
Composer: Dresden, Germany: 1628

Lord Je­sus

Christ

be pre­sent now

Our hearts in true de­vo­tion bow

Thy Spir­it send with grace di­vine

And let Thy truth with­in us shine.

Unseal our lips to sing Thy praise

Our souls to Thee in wor­ship raise

Make strong our faith

in­crease our light

That we may know Thy name aright.

Until we join the hosts that cry

Holy art Thou

O Lord

most high!

And in the light of that blest place

Fore’er be­hold Thee face to face.

Glory to God the Fa­ther

Son

And Ho­ly Spir­it

Three in One!

To Thee

O bless­èd Tri­ni­ty

Be praise through­out eter­ni­ty!
