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.
