| 1. Behold we come, dear Lord, to Thee,
And bow before Thy throne;
We come to offer on our knee
Our vows to Thee alone.
2. Whate’er we have, whate’er we are,
Thy bounty freely gave;
Thou dost here in mercy spare,
And wilt hereafter save.
3. Come then, my soul,
bring all thy powers,
And grieve thou hast no more;
Bring every day thy choicest hours,
And thy great God adore.
4. But, above all, prepare thy heart,
On this His own blest day;
In its sweet task to bear thy part,
And sing, and love, and pray.
