 Jesus, we want to meet
We gather round thy throne
Thou art our heav'nly friend,
hear our prayers as they ascend.
Look into our hearts and minds today,
 on this thy holy day.
on this thy holy day.


on this thy holy day.
2.




 We kneel in awe and fear
pray God to teach us here
Save us and cleanse our hearts,
lead and guide our acts of praise,
and our faith from seed to flower raise,
 on this thy holy day.
on this thy holy day,


on this thy holy day.
3.




 Thy blessing, Lord, we seek
Give joy of thy victory
Through grace alone are we saved.
In thy flock may we be found.
Let the mind of Christ abide in us
 on this thy holy day.
on this thy holy day.


on this thy holy day.
4.



 Our minds we dedicate
heart and sould and consecrate
Holy Spirit, make us whole.
Bless the sermon in this place,
as as we go, lead us, Lord;		 on this thy holy day.
on this thy holy day,


on this thy holy day.
