Prayer Chair - Second Sunday in Lent

Why should the children of a King

                          Go mourning all their days?                   

Great Comforter, descend and bring 

The tokens of thy grace.

Dost thou not dwell in all thy saints, 

And seal the heirs of heaven?
When with thou banish my complaints, 

And show my sins forgiven?

Assure my conscience of her part 

In the Redeemer’s blood:
And bear thy witness with my heart, 

That I am born of God.

Thou art the earnest of his love, 

The pledge of joys to come;
May thy blest wings, celestial Dove, 

Safely convey me home.
