Again our earthly cares we leave,
And to Thy courts repair;
Again with joyful feet we haste
To meet our Saviour there.

Great Shepherd of Thy people, here
Thy presence now display.
We bow within Thy house of prayer;
O give us hearts to pray!

The clouds which veil Thee from our sight,
In pity, Lord, remove;
Dispose our minds to hear aright
Theles. May of Thy love.

The feeling heart, the melting eye,
Thelhumble mind, bestow;
And shine upon us from above,
To make our graces grow.
