Text Based On Daniel Chapter 9 (KJV)
We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly,
and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:

O THOU WHOSE HAND HATH BROUGHT US
1. O Thou whose hand hath brought us -
Unto this Sabbath day, - Accept our glad thanksgiving, -
And listen as we pray; - And may our preparation -
For this day’s service be - With one accord to offer -
Ourselves, O Lord, to Thee.
2. For this Thy house we praise Thee, -
Reared at Thine own command, -
For every generous spirit, -
And every willing hand; -
And now within Thy temple -
Thy glory let us see, -
For all its strength and beauty -
Are nothing without Thee.
3. And oft as here we gather, -
And hearts in worship blend, -
May truth reveal its power, -
And fervent prayers ascend; -
Here may the busy toiler -
Rise to the things above; -
The young, the old, be strengthened, -
And all men learn Thy love.
4. And as the years roll onward, -
And strong affections twine, -
And tender mem’ries gather -
About this sacred time, -
May this its chief distinction, -
Its glory, ever be, -
That multitudes within it -
Have found their way to Thee.
5. Lord God, our fathers’ helper, -
Our joy, and hope and stay: -
Grant now a gracious earnest -
Of many a coming day. -
Our yearning hearts Thou knowest; -
We wait before Thy throne: -
O come, and by Thy presence -
Make this new house Thine own.
