(134) A Blessing Implored.

Lord! we come before thee now;

At thy feet we humbly bow;

Oh, do not our suit disdain;

Shall we seek thee, Lord, in vain?

2 Send some message from thy word,

That may joy and peace afford;

Let thy Spirit now impart

Full salvation to each heart.

3 Comfort those who weep and mourn;

Let the time of joy return;

Those that are cast down lift up,

Strong in faith, in love, and hope.

4 Grant that those who seek may find

Thee, a God sincere and kind;

Heal the sick, the captive free,

Let us all rejoice in thee.

William Hammond, 1745.
