Receive, O Lord, in Heaven above Our prayers and supplications pure; Give us a heart all full of love And steady courage to endure. Thy holy Name our mouths confess, Our tongues are harps to praise Thy grace; Forgive our sins and wickedness, Who in this vigil seek Thy face. Let not our song become a sigh, A wail of anguish and despair; In lovingkindness, Lord most high, Receive tonight our evening prayer. O raise us in that day, that we May sing, where all Thy saints adore, Praise to Thy Father, and to Thee, And to Thy Spirit, evermore. |
