Send us blest away. 2 Sweet it is to kneel before Thee, And with prayer and praise adore Thee: Leave us not alone. May we lambs of Jesus be: Saviour, we would follow Thee; Humbly trusting, kneel before Thee, And with prayer and praise adore Thee: Guide and keep us, we implore Thee; Make us all Thine own.
