Hymn 103
O How blest the hour, Lord Jesus
- mf 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!
- 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.
- f See us, eager for salvation,
Sit, great Master, at Thy feet.
And with breathless expectation.
Hang upon Thine accents sweet.
- mf 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.
- Make us gentle, meek, and humble.
And yet bold in doing right;
cr Scatter darkness, lest we stumble;
Men walk safely in the light.
- mf Lord, endue 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.
- f Give us grace to bear our witness.
To the truths we have embrace;
And let others both their
sweetness
And their quick'ning virtue taste.
Christly Living
