73. HERE from the World we Turn

Verse 1

Here from the world we turn, 

Jesus to seek;

Here may His loving voice 

Graciously speak!

Jesus, our dearest Friend, 

while at Thy feet we bend,

O let Thy smile descend! 

‘Tis Thee we seek.

Verse 2

Come, Holy Comforter, 

Presence Divine,

Now in our longing hearts 

Graciously shine;

O for Thy mighty pow’r! 

O for a blessed show’r,

Filling this hallowed hour 

With joy divine!

Verse 3

Savior, Thy work revive; 

Here may we see

Those who are dead in sin 

Quickened by Thee;

Come to our hearts tonight, 

Make every burden light;

Cheer Thou our waiting sight; 

We long for Thee.
