O Lord, you will revive

When we with troubles strive

Will hear simple prayers, you know all

E\'en before we do call

 

But you do us invite

To pray, and in your sight

We blessed be, continue to know

Good things wihich you us show

 

Never alone, but you

Come, comfort us anew

Words in season strengthen, uphold

Your sheep within your fold

 

Grant us some thought, that we

Not dry or barren be

Some thought new or old, so commune

We with you, keep in tune

 

Thought of you, your our Lord

And your life-giving word

You impart to us, and Christ He

Your Word true ever be

 

Whether in midst of storm

Or calm and cosy, warm

In darkest night or brightest light

Yet you still our delight

 

You Father heavenly

To us, how can this be?

To all believing in your Son

He saves, has our hearts won

 

Forgive where we forget

And may struggle on yet

Help us recall your presence, seek

You lowly in heart, meek
