Lord, before thy throne we bend
Now to thee our eyes ascend;
Servants to our Master true,
Lo! we yield thee homage due:
Children, to thy throne we fly:
Abba, Father, hear our cry!
Low before thee, Lord, we bow;
We are weak, but mighty thou:
Sore distressed, yet suppliant still,
Here we wait thy holy will:
Bound to earth, and rooted here,
Till our Saviour God appear.
Leave us not beneath the power
Of temptation's darkest hour:
Swift to read their captives' doom,
See our foes exulting come!
Jesus, Saviour, yet be nigh,
Lord of life and victory!
