Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

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 loving-kindness, 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.
