Lyrics

Met again in Je­sus’ name,
At His throne we hum­bly bow.
He is ev­er­more the same:
Lo! He waits to meet us now.

In His name, if two or three
Meet, and for His mer­cy call,
There, the Sav­ior saith, “I’ll be
In the midst, to bless you all.

You shall ne­ver ask in vain,
Though your num­ber be but few:
Firm the pro­mise doth re­main;
Lo! I al­ways am with you.

Savior, we be­lieve the word;
Calmly wait the pro­mised grace.
Spirit of our ris­en Lord,
Holy Spir­it, fill the place!
