 1 

Lord, we meet to seek Thy face

And in one accord to pray;

We a holy priesthood are,

Waiting on Thee here today.

 

Here together we would pray,

Touch the highest and the best,

Till our spirits mingled are

And Thy Church is built and blest.

 
 2 

As true priests we long to be,

With our spirit sense Thy will,

Thus to serve before Thee here

That Thy plan Thou may fulfill.

 

Here together we would pray,

Touch the highest and the best,

Till our spirits mingled are

And Thy Church is built and blest.

 
 3 

To the holiest place we come,

Now to touch Thy throne of grace,

By the inner sense to pray

And Thy Spirit's flow to trace.

 

Here together we would pray,

Touch the highest and the best,

Till our spirits mingled are

And Thy Church is built and blest.

 
 4 

From Thy throne of grace to me

Rivers of Thy grace proceed;

Thus my spirit is refreshed,

Helping me in time of need.

 

Here together we would pray,

Touch the highest and the best,

Till our spirits mingled are

And Thy Church is built and blest.

 
 5 

May our prayers expression give

To Thy Spirit's mind alone;

Praying not by our desire,

But according to Thine own.

 

Here together we would pray,

Touch the highest and the best,

Till our spirits mingled are

And Thy Church is built and blest.

 
 6 

Though with temporal matters pressed,

Which we fain would bring to Thee,

Rather than Thy care to seek,

We would here Thy channel be.

 

Here together we would pray,

Touch the highest and the best,

Till our spirits mingled are

And Thy Church is built and blest.

 
 7 

Here we seek Thy list'ning ear,

May Thy living water flow;

When Thy grace does satisfy,

Only then Thy work we'll know.

 

Here together we would pray,

Touch the highest and the best,

Till our spirits mingled are

And Thy Church is built and blest.
