1. Now the precious hour appeareth
Which in prayer doth make us one;
When God’s chosen people neareth
In devotion to the throne;
Savior, hear our humble plea,
Bless Thou all who came to Thee!
2. We, although but weak beginners,
Are encouraged by Thy grace!
For Thou freely savest sinners
Who Thee, Lord, by faith embrace.
All who humbly seek Thee now
With Thy saving grace endow!
3. Gracious Son of Man, we pray Thee
Not just for ourselves alone;
Many who do not obey Thee,
Thou wilt save and make Thine own.
Many, Lord, this very hour
Still lie bound in Satan’s power.
4. “Great the harvest,” Thou hast spoken;
Send, O send Thy reapers forth;
Let the chains of sin be broken;
Gather in from south and north;
May the whole world soon perceive
And Thy saving light receive!
5. Lord, Thy messengers supplying
With new measures of Thy grace,
Give new life to dead and dying;
Hallow new Thy Holy Place!
Shepherd of our souls, we pray,
Gather in all those that stray!
