215. Thou Great High Priest and Savior

1. Thou great High Priest and Savior,
Grant us who share Thy favor,
Incense of prayer today,
True hearts, childlike and lowly,
And grace to love Thee solely,
That no ill wind may drive away!

2. Grant ears that always hear Thee
And eyes that see Thee clearly
And priestly lips that pray;
Grant feet that will pass over
All hindrances, and ever
With Thee, Lord, walk the narrow way.

3. The hands shall move in blessing
And Thee as Friend possessing,
Thy temple I would be;
My spirit have indwelling
A life, all thought excelling,
That none, save brethren, here can see.

4. O Friend, our hearts inspire
And pour Thy Spirit's fire
On every group that prays!
Whene'er we come before Thee,
Grant fervor to implore Thee,
Thyself our hands to Thee upraise!
