We seem agreed to seek thy face:

But every soul assembled here

Doth naked in thy sight appear;

Thou know'st who only bows the knee,

And who in heart approaches thee.

2To-day, while it is called to-day,

Awake and stir us up to pray;

The spirit of thy word impart,

And breathe the life into our heart;

Our weakness help, our darkness chase,
