Command Thy Blessing From Above

Command Thy blessing from above,
O God! On all assembled here;
Behold us with a Father's love,
while we look up with filial fear.

Command Thy blessing, Jesus! Lord!
May we Thy true disciples be;
Speak to each heart the mighty Word,
say to the weakest, "Follow Me."

Command Thy blessing in this hour,
Spirit of Truth! And fill this place
with humbling and exalting pow'r,
with quicken'ng and confirming grace.

With Thee and these forever found,
may all the souls who here unite,
with harps and songs Thy throne surround,
rest in Thy love and reign in light.
