Hymn 45
Delight in Worship.
LORD, in thy most pleasant service, For awhile we've been employed; And in thy delightful worship, We ourselves have well enjoyed. We have gladly waited on Thee, Since we first assembled here, And desire a blessing from Thee, Oh, be pleas'd our prayers to hear.
Lord, if we have been consistent, Since together we have met, Grant us grace and strength sufficient, For the race before us set. And wherein we have not pleased Thee May we pardon still obtain; May we ever love and praise Thee, While with us life does remain.
May the labors of this meeting Be regarded as divine; May they send both joy and greeting, To the church in every clime. May thy people be united In sweet bonds of joy and love; And may strangers be invited, To secure a home above.
