OPENING OF SERVICE
56
2 Yes, my God, I come before Thee, Come Thou also down to me;
Where we find Thee and adore Thee, There a heaven on earth must be.
To my heart O enter Thou,
Let it be Thy temple now.
3 Here Thy praise is gladly chanted, Here Thy seed is duly sown;
Let my soul, where it is planted, Bring forth precious sheaves alone;
So that all I hear may be
Fruitful unto life in me.
4 Speak, O God, and I will hear Thee,
Let Thy will be done indeed;
May I undisturbed draw near Thee
While Thou dost Thy people feed. Here of life the fountain flows, Here is balm for all our woes.
Rev. Benjamin Schmolck, 1732. Tr. Catherine Winkwokth, 1863
