How great, how solemn is the work
Which we attend to-day!
Now for a holy, solemn frame,
Oh God, to thee we pray.
May we but feel as once we felt,
When pained and grieved at heart;
Thy kind forgiving, melting look
Did quick relief impart.
Let graces then in exercise
Be exercised again;
And nurtured by a power divine,
In vigour still remain.
Awake our love, our fear, our hope,
Our fortitude and joy;
Vain world depart—let thins above
Our constant thoughts employ.
While thee our Saviour and our God,
To all around we own,
Expel each daring rival lust,
ch traitor from the throne.
Do thou our inmost souls renew,
To heaven our passions raise,
That hence our lives, our all may be
Devoted to thy praise.
