We Have Not Known Thee As We Ought

We Have Not Known Thee As We Ought

SCRIPTURE A (SHORT BREAK)

We have not known thee as we ought

Nor learned thy wisdom grace and power

The things of earth have filled our thought

And trifles of the passing hour

BLANK

We have not feared thee as we ought

Nor bowed beneath thine awesome eye

Nor guarded deed and word and thought

Remembering that God was nigh

BLANK

Lord give us light Thy truth to see
And make us wise in knowing thee

Lord give us faith to know thee near

And grant the grace of holy fear

We have not loved thee as we ought
Nor cared that we are loved by thee

Thy presence we have coldly sought

And feebly longed thy face to see

We have not served thee as we ought

Oh the duties left undone

The work with little fervor wrought

The battles lost or scarcely won

Lord give a pure and loving heart

To feel and own the love thou art

Lord give the zeal and give the might

For thee to toil for thee to fight

Lord give us light Thy truth to see

And make us wise in knowing thee

Lord give us faith to know thee near

And grant the grace of holy fear

SCRIPTURE B (SHORT BREAK)

When shall we know thee as we ought

And fear and serve aright

When shall we out of trial brought

Be perfect in the land of light

Lord may we day by day prepare

To see thy face and serve thee there

Lord may we day by day prepare

To see thy face and serve thee there

Lord may we day by day prepare

To see thy face and serve thee there

Lord may we day by day prepare

To see thy face and serve thee there

Lord give us light Thy truth to see
And make us wise in knowing thee

Lord give us faith to know thee near

And grant the grace of holy fear

Lord give a pure and loving heart

To feel and own the love thou art

Lord give the zeal and give the might

For thee to toil for thee to fight

Lord may we day by day prepare

To see thy face and serve thee there

Lord may we day by day prepare

To see thy face and serve thee there
