(111) God's Presence in Sanctuary.

Again our earthly cares we leave,

And in thy courts appear;

Again, with joyful feet, we come

To meet our Savior here.

2 Within those walls let holy peace.

And love, and concord dwell;

Here give the troubled conscience ease--

The wounded spirit heal.

3 The feeling heart, the melting eye.

The humble mind bestow;

And shine upon us from on high,

To make our graces grow.

4 May we in faith receive thy word,

In faith present our prayers;

And in the presence of our Lord,

Unbosom all our cares.

5 Shew us some token of thy love,

Our fainting hope to raise;

And pour thy blessing from above,

That we may render praise.

John Newton, 1779, a.
