Behold We Come, Dear Lord, To Thee

Behold we come, dear Lord, to Thee,

And bow before Thy throne;

We come to offer on our knee

Our vows to Thee alone.

Whate'er we have, whate'er we are,

Thy bounty freely gave;

Thou dost here in mercy spare,

And wilt hereafter save.

Come then, my soul, bring all thy powers,

And grieve thou hast no more;

Bring every day thy choicest hours,

And thy great God adore.

But, above all, prepare thy heart,

On this His own blest day;

In its sweet task to bear thy part,

And sing, and love, and pray.
