Standing at the por­tal
Seeking guid­ance, teach­ing,
While all our lips and hearts His prais­es sing;
And let the same com­pas­sion deign
By which sup­port­ed still we stand:
And while we pray, in mer­cy hear;

Gracious an­swers from the throne.

That mer­cy crowns it, till it close.
Have mer­cy, Lord.

To each soul as­sem­bled here;
