- 1Jesus, we look to thee,
- Thy promised presence claim;
- Thou in the midst of us shalt be,
- Assembled in thy name.
- 2Not in the name of pride
- Or selfishness we meet;
- From nature's paths we turn aside,
- And worldly thoughts forget.
- 3We meet the grace to take,
- Which thou hast freely given;
- We meet on earth for thy dear sake,
- That we may meet in heaven.
- 4Present we know thou art,
- But, oh, thyself reveal!
- Now, Lord, let every bounding heart
- Thy mighty comfort feel.
- 5Oh, may thy quickening voice
- The death of sin remove;
- And bid our inmost souls rejoice,
- In hope of perfect love.
