Lyrics

Assembled in the Mas­ter’s name,
Disciples, here we meet to claim
Fulfillment of the promise sweet,
That Je­sus with His own will meet.

Refrain

The King is here! His Spi­rit fills
Our waiting hearts, controls our wills;
His love dispels all doubt and fear;
The King is here, the King is here!

His promise is to everyone;
Ask what ye will, it shall be done;
And at His blessèd feet we bow,
For He is here to answer now.

Refrain

Such wealth of love His presence bring,
The bread of life, the living springs;
All want we find in Him supplied,
And we may all be satisfied.

Refrain

His presence shall our songs inspire,
His Spi­rit touch our lips with fire;
And bring the heav’nly life so near,
That all shall own the King is here.
