27. C. M. Newton. A Blessing sought. 1 Great Shepherd of thy people, hear; Thy presence now display; We kneel within thy house of prayer; O, give us hearts to pray. 2 The clouds which veil thee from our sight, In pity, Lord, remove; Dispose our minds to hear aright The message of thy love. 3 Help us, with holy fear and joy, To kneel before thy face; O, make us, creatures of thy power, The children of thy grace.
