| 1. Jesus, we look to Thee,
Thy promised presence claim;
Thou in the midst of us shall be,
Assembled in Thy Name.
2. Thy Name salvation is,
Which here we come to prove;
Thy Name is life,
and health, and peace,
And everlasting love.
3. Not in the name of pride
Or selfishness we meet;
From nature’s paths
we turn aside,
And worldly thoughts forget.
4. 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.
5. Present we know Thou art;
But, O, Thyself reveal!
Now, Lord, let ev’ry waiting heart
The mighty comfort feel.
6. O may Thy quickening voice
The death of sin remove;
And bid our inmost souls rejoice,
In hope of perfect love.
