Worship. Ps. 80. 1, 2

1 Dear Shepherd of thy people, here
  Thy presence now display;
  As thou hast given a place for prayer,
  So give us hearts to pray.

2 Show us some token of thy love,
  Our fainting hope to raise;
  And pour thy blessings from above,
  That we may render praise.

3 Within these walls let holy peace,
  And love, and concord dwell;
  Here give the troubled conscience ease;
  The wounded spirit heal.

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 And may the gospel’s joyful sound,
  Enforced by mighty grace,
  Awaken many sinners round,
  To come and fill the place.
