Hymn 255: God is Here, And that to Bless

Verse 1

God is here, and that to bless

us

With the Spirit’s quick’ning [pow’r

See the cloud already bending,

Waits to drop the grateful shower.

 

 

Let it come, O Lord, we pray Thee,

Let the show’r of blessing fall;

We are waiting, we are waiting 

Oh, revive the hearts of all.

 

Verse 2

God is here! we feel His presence

In this consecrated place;

But we need the soul refreshing

Of His free unbounded grace.

 

Verse 3

God is here! Oh, then, believing,

Bring to Him our one desire;

That His love may now be kindled,

Till its flame each heart inspire.

 

Verse 4

Saviour, grant the prayer we offer,

While in simple faith we bow,

From the windows of Thy mercy 

Pour us out a blessing now.

James L. Black.
