Hymn ‘ Amid the Thronging Worshippers ’
Amid the thronging worshippers the Lord our God I bless , Before my brethren , gathered there , His name I will confess . Come , praise Him , ye that fear the Lord , the children of His grace , With reverence sound His glories forth And bow before His face .
The burden of the sorrowful The Lord will not despise ; He has not turned from those that mourn , He listens to their cries . His goodness makes me join the throng Where saints His praise proclaim , And there will I fulfill my vows ’ Mid those who fear His name .
He feeds with good the humble soul And satisfies the meek , And they shall live and praise the Lord Who for His mercy seek . The ends of all the earth will hear , The nations seek the Lord ; They worship Him , the King of kings , In earth and heaven adored .
