Hymn 16
On Public Worship.
LORD, at thy sacred feet, Joyful would we appear; Within thy earthly temple meet, To see thy glory here.
We come to worship thee, For thou art God alone; In humble pray'r to bend the knee, Before thy holy throne.
Thy word is our delight, Thy truth will make us free; 'Tis from thyself, a heav'nly light, It leads our souls to thee.
Thy goodness we behold, While in thy presence, Lord; Thy wondrous truth and love unfold The treasures of thy word.
In all our meetings here, Our souls are bless'd with good; Thou wilt to waiting minds be near, And give thy children food.
So will we render praise To thee, the God of love; With pleasure walk in all thy ways, Till we shall meet above.
