Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.
Matthew 18:20
Words & Music: J. Lincoln Hall, The Tribute of Song, by William J. Kirkpatrick et al. (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Hall-Mack, 1904), number 1 (🔊 pdf nwc). Some hymnals give the author as Arthur Wilton, one of Hall’s pseudonyms.
We gather in Thy name, O Master,
We come with one accord;
O meet with us, we pray, this moment,
Fulfill Thy holy Word.
Refrain
Meet with us, we pray,
Meet with us today,
Set our waiting hearts aflame;
Fill us with Thy love,
Sent from Heav’n above,
As we gather in Thy name.
We gather in Thy name, O Savior,
Thy grace on us bestow;
Now let us feel Thy gracious Spirit,
And with Thy love o’erflow.
Refrain
We gather in Thy name, O Spirit,
We come to worship Thee;
For Thou dost save us thro’ Thy merit,
To all eternity.
