Hymn LXVI. For a vacant Congregation.
1
O God of heaven, whose gentle ray,Illumes the worlds of light,
Thy wisdom rules the realms of day,
And leads the host of night.
2
Behold thy waiting servants stand,And claim with feeble cries,
Some skilful guide with gentle hand
To lead us to the skies.
3
While absent from thy temple, LordLike wandering flocks we stray
We lose the memory of thy word
And waste the sacred day.
4
And when, within these walls of thineWe find our wonted place;
How faint our feeble voices join
To seek thy pardoning grace.
5
Almighty Saviour, hear our prayer,Some chosen servant raise,
And help our lips to praise.
6
Then in thy house, with joy unknownWe'll raise a nobler song,
Till we shall meet around thy throne,
And join the heavenly throng.
