A Call to Rejoice

In Thy name, O Lord, assembling,
We Thy people now draw near;
Teach us to rejoice with reverence;
Speak and may Thy servants hear.

Let Thy word be food to nourish,
Those whom Thou hast called Thine own;
May Thy people's graces flourish,
All our trust in Thee alone.

Now with joy we come before Thee,
Seek Thy face, Thy mercies own;
Lord of life, of light, and glory,
Bless this church before Thy throne.

While our days on earth are lengthened,
May we live them, Lord, in Thee,
Cheered by hope and daily strengthened,
'Till Thy glory there we see.
