Prayer for the Presence of Christ. Ex. 33. 15

1 Once more, dear God of grace,
  Thy earthly courts we tread;
  We come to see thy face,
  And banquet with our Head;
  We long, we faint, we pant for thee;
  And hope that with us thou wilt be.

2 Though base and vile we are,
  Nor goodness have to bring,
  We cannot well despair,
  While Jesus is our King;
  He welcomes all by sin oppressed,
  Upon his grace to come and feast.

3 With Christ we would be fed;
  By faith upon him live;
  We wish no other bread,
  And thou hast this to give;
  Lord, fill us well with this rich food,
  And let us drink thy precious blood.
