That we may render praise.

And love, and concord dwell;
Here give the troubled conscience ease,
The wounded spirit heal.

The humble mind bestow;
And shine upon us from on high,
To make our graces grow!

In faith present our prayers;
And, in the presence of our Lord,
Unbosom all our cares.

have you not seen
all you have needed has been
sent by his gracious ordaining?

what the Almighty can do
as with his love he befriends us.

who, when the godless do triumph, our best hopes confounding,

scatters the horrors of night,
saints with his mercy surrounding.

All that has life and breath, come now with praises before him.
Let the Amen
sound from his people again:
gladly for ever adore him.
