RCCG Hymn 796
O Saviour, Bless Us Ere We Go
"The LORD shall be thine everlasting light." - Isa 60:20
O Saviour, bless us ere we go, Thy word into our minds instill, And make our luke-warm hearts to glow With lowly love and fervent will.
The day is gone, its hours have run; And Thou hast taken count of all, The scanty triumphs grace hath won, The broken vow, the frequent fall.
Forgive us, Lord; yea, give us joy, Sweet fear, and sober liberty, And loving hearts without alloy That only long to be like Thee.
Labour is sweet, for Thou hast toil'd, And care is light, for Thou hast cared: Let not our work with self be soil'd Nor in unsimple ways ensnared.
For all we love, the poor, the sad, The sinful, unto Thee we call; Oh let Thy mercy make us glad; Thou art our Saviour, and our all.
O Saviour, bless us; night is come, Thy holy presence with us be, Good Angels watch about our home, And we are one day nearer Thee.
