	LORD, in this blest and hallowed hour     Reveal Thy presence and Thy power, Show to my faith Thy hands and side, My Lord and God, the Crucified.
2	Here would I find a calm retreat, From vain distractions, near Thy feet, And, borne above all earthly care, Be joyful in Thy house of prayer.
3	Or let me through the opening skies Catch one bright glimpse of paradise, And realise, with raptured awe, The vision dying Stephen saw.
4	But if unworthy of such joy, Still shall Thy love my heart employ, For of Thy favoured children’s fare ’Tis bliss the very crumbs to share.
5	Yet never can my soul be fed With less than Thee, the living Bread; Thyself unto my soul impart, And with Thy presence fill my heart.
	Josiah Conder, 1789-1855
