LyicsIn thy name, O Lord, assembling,
We, thy people, now draw near;
Teach us to rejoice with trembling;
Oh that we this day may hear-
Hear with meekness-
Hear thy word with godly fear.
While our days on earth are lengthened,
May we give them, Lord, to thee!
Cheered by hope, and daily strengthened,
We would run, nor weary be,
Till thy glory,
Without clouds, in heaven we see.
There, in worship, purer, sweeter,
All thy people shall adore;
Tasting of enjoyment greater
Than they could conceive before;
Full enjoyment-
Holy bliss for evermore.
