234. O LORD, “WITH ONE ACCORD”
1. O Lord, “with one accord,”
We gather round Thy Throne,
To hear Thy holy Word,
To worship Thee alone.
Now send from heaven the Holy Ghost,
2. We have no strength to meet
The storms that round us lower,
Keep Thou our trembling feet
In every trying hour;
More than victorious shall be
If girded with Thy panoply
3. Where is the Mighty wind
That shook the holy place,
That gladdened every mind,
And brightened every face?
And where the cloven tongues of flame
That marked each follower of the Lamb?
4. There is no change in Thee
Lord God the Holy ghost,
Thy glorious majesty
Is as at Pentecost!
O may our loosened tongues proclaim,
That thou, our God, art still the same.
5. And may that living wave,
That issues from on high,
Whose golden waters lave
Thy throne eternally:
Flow down in power on us to-day,
And none shall go unblessed away!
6. Anoint us with Thy grace,
To yield ourselves to Thee;
To run our daily race,
With joy and energy,
Until we hear the Bridegroom say,
“Rise up my love, and come away.”
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
