Receive, O Lord, in Heaven Above

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.
