HYMN 88. A Hymn on Preparation for Ordinances.

1

'Tis thou, O God, that must prepare
our Hearts, we therefore cry,

90

Cleanse us from every Sin and Spot;
O purge Iniquity!

2

That we may hear and sing to Thee;
so as with thee to meet;
And find thy Word and Ordinance
to us exceeding sweet.

3

That so we may in thee rejoyce,
and thy great Name adore;
And filled be with inward Peace,
and Praise thee evermore.

4

With Faith and Holy Diligence,
let us attend thy Word;
That cause we may have still to sing
unto our blessed Lord.
