1. Great Shepherd of Thy people

St Stephen                                                                              C. M.
How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
– Psa. 84:1

1   ^f Great Shepherd of Thy people,
Here, thy presence now display;
As thou hast given a place for prayer,
So give us hearts to pray.

2 ^mf   Show us some token of thy love
Our fainting hope to raise,
And pour thy blessing from above
That we may render praise,

3 ^mf  Within these walls let holy peace
And love and concord dwell;
Here give the troubled conscience ease;
The wounded spirit heal.

4 ^mf   The hearing ear, the seeing eye,
The contrite heart bestow;
And shine upon us from on high,
That we in grace may grow.

5 ^mf   May we in faith receive thy Word,
In faith address our prayers;
And in the presence of the Lord
Unburden all our cares.
 C. Wesley                          ….. Amen
