The Wanderer

"As I walked through the wilderness of this world . . ."

“O Lord, our King, our grateful praise”

Forest Green D.C.M.

O Lord, our King, our grateful praise
Our tongues would gladly tell:
The mighty name, the glorious works
Of our Immanuel.
O Holy Spirit, help us
To make a joyful sound:
In every part of worship
May life and joy abound.

Reveal divinest glories
To our benighted minds;
Inspire great love; break the cold grip
That often our heart binds.
Let nothing in us hinder
Your work within each heart.
Lord, make us pure and holy
And Christlikeness impart.

We bend our knee, O Saviour,
And seek your glorious face.
Help us, O Holy Spirit:
Those holy beauties trace.
We lift our hearts and voices
To praise your glorious grace;
Draw near to us, be good to us,
And fill this needy place.
