Again our earthly cares we leave,

And to thy courts repair;

Again, with joyful feet, we come

To meet our Saviour here.

2 Within these walls let holy peace,

And love, and concord dwell;

Here give the troubled conscience ease,

The wounded spirit heal.

3 The feeling heart, the melting eye,

The humble mind, bestow:

And shine upon us from on high,

To make our graces grow.

4 May we in faith receive thy word,

In faith present our prayers,

And in the presence of our Lord,

Unbosom all our cares.

5 Show us some token of thy love,

Our fainting hope to raise,

And pour thy blessings from above,

That we may render praise.
