42 Lord, we humbly bow before Thee

1 Lord, we humbly bow before Thee, In Thy courts on this Thy day; Help us rightly to adore Thee, Worthily to praise and pray: Worldly cares and thoughts dispelling, In our hearts Thy Spirit dwelling; Teach us meekly to obey, Learn Thy will, and keep Thy way. 2 Hear, O Lord, our full confession, When to Thee we lift our cry; Pardon speak for each transgression; To our suppliant souls draw nigh: Thy pure word our hearts directing, Thy good grace our steps protecting; Look on us with pitying eye, All we need, O Lord, supply.
