About This Hymn
“Look Down on Us, O Lord, We Beseech Thee” is a reverent prayer hymn by Alexander S. Gibson, written to express humble dependence on the mercy and guidance of God. The text draws its spirit from Psalm 123:1, where the psalmist lifts his eyes to the Lord who dwells in the heavens. Gibson’s hymn invites worshipers to approach God with a sense of need, confession, and trust, asking Him to look kindly upon His people as they seek His help. The hymn emphasizes the believer’s awareness of personal weakness and the desire for divine strength, direction, and cleansing. Its tone is quiet, sincere, and deeply devotional, urging the congregation to rest their hope upon the character of God who hears every earnest prayer. Through simple yet thoughtful language, the hymn encourages a posture of humility and dependence, teaching believers that true comfort and guidance come from the Lord alone.
