Jesus, we look to Thee,
Thy promised presence
claim;
Thou in the midst of us
shall be,
Assembled in Thy Name.
Thy Name salvation is,
Which here we come to
prove;
Thy Name is life, and
health, and peace,
And everlasting love.
Not in the name of
pride
Or selfishness we meet;
From nature’s paths we
turn aside,
And worldly thoughts
forget.
We meet, the grace to
take
Which Thou hast freely
giv’n;
We meet on earth for Thy
dear sake
That we may meet in
Heav’n.
Present we know Thou
art;
But, O, Thyself reveal!
Now, Lord, let ev’ry
waiting heart
The mighty comfort feel.
O may Thy quickening
voice
The death of sin remove;
And bid our inmost souls
rejoice,
In hope of perfect love.
