Religion
Before Sermon (Book III, Hymn 91)
From Olney Hymns, Book III (1779)
Religion
Thy promise, LORD, and thy command
Have brought us here today;
And now, we humbly waiting stand
To hear what thou wilt say.
Meet us, we pray, with words of peace,
And fill our hearts with love;
That from our follies we may cease,
And henceforth faithful prove.
