BOOK II. 2 Dear Shepherd of thy people, hear ; Thy presence now display : As thou hast given a place for pray r, So give us hearts to pray.

3 Show us some token of thy love, Our fainting hope to raise ; And pour thy blessings from above, That we may render praise.

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

5 The feeling heart, the melting eye, The humbled mind bestow ; And shine upon us from on high, To make our graces grow!

6 May we in faith receive thy word, In faith present our pray rs ; And in the presence of our Lord Unbosom all our cares!

7 And may the gospel s joyful sound, Enforced by mighty grace, Awaken many sinners round &quot; To come and fill the place !

1 JESUS, where er thy people meet, There they behold thy mercy-seat ; Where er they seek thee, thou art found, And every place is hallow d ground.

2 For thou, within no walls confined, Inhabitest the humble mind ; Such ever bring thee where they come, And going, take thee to their home.

3 Dear Shepherd of thy chosen few, Thy former mercies here renew ;
