For a Prayer Meeting.
1Father, hear us when we pray,
Look in mercy from above;
Turn not, Lord, thy face away,
Hear, and grant thy pardoning love.
2In the name of Christ we come,
Asking grace and seeking peace,
Raise our hearts to heaven, our home,
And from worldly cares release.
3Pure and holy may we be,
Far removed all vain desire;
From all hate and envy free,
Let our souls to thee aspire.
4While we love the Saviour's name,
And his words with zeal obey,
His sweet promise we may claim;--
"He will meet us when we pray."
