1. O Lord, behold us gathered here,
As children ’round a light!
We pray Thee, Lord, that Thou come near,
And guide our hearts aright.
2. Give us like unto Lydia
An open heart and ear.
We pray Thee, Lord, O come to us
Through bolted doors appear!
3. O Lord, we pray to us reveal
Thy words of grace and might,
Which Thou from him dost not conceal
Who seeketh truth and light.
4. Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide
In this dark day and time,
Until we see the morning light
Eternally sublime.
As children ’round a light!
We pray Thee, Lord, that Thou come near,
And guide our hearts aright.
2. Give us like unto Lydia
An open heart and ear.
We pray Thee, Lord, O come to us
Through bolted doors appear!
3. O Lord, we pray to us reveal
Thy words of grace and might,
Which Thou from him dost not conceal
Who seeketh truth and light.
4. Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide
In this dark day and time,
Until we see the morning light
Eternally sublime.
