1. Dear Shepherd of Thy people, hear; Thy presence now display; As Thou hast given a place for prayer, So give us hearts to pray. 2. Within these walls let holy peace And love and concord dwell; Here give the troubled consciences ease, the wounded spirit heal. 3. May we in faith receive Thy word In faith present our prayers, And in the presence of our Lord,, Unbosom all our cares. 4. The hearing ear, the seeing eye, The humbled mind bestow; And shine upon us from on high, To make our graces grow.
