O how blest the hour, Lord Jesus
When we can to Thee draw near
Promises so sweet and precious
From Thy gracious lips to hear
2.
Be with us this day to bless us
That we may not hear in vain
With the saving truths impress us
Which the words of life contain
3.
See us, eager for salvation
Sit, great Master, at Thy feet
And with breathless expectation
Hang upon Thine accents sweet
4.
Open Thou our minds, and lead us
Safely on our heavenward way
With the lamp of truth precede us
That we may not go astray
5.
Make us gentle, meek and humble
And yet bold in doing right
Scatter darkness, lest we stumble
Men walk safely in the light
6.
Lord, endure Thy word from heaven
With such light, and love and pow’r
That in us its silent leaven
May work on from hour to hour
7.
Give us grace to bear our witness
To the truths we have embraced
And let others both their sweetness
And their quick’ning virtue taste.
Amen
