Lyics

Lord, in thy presence here we meet;

May we in thee be found!

O make the place divinely sweet,

O let thy grace abound!



To-day the order of thy house

We would in peace maintain;

We would renew our solemn vows,

And heav'nly strength regain.



Thy spirit, gracious Lord, impart;

Our faith and hope increase;

Display thy love in ev'ry heart,

And keep us all in peace.



Let no discordant passions rise

To mar the work of love;

But hold us in those heav'nly ties

That bind the saints above.



With harmony and union bless,

That we may own to thee

How good, how sweet, how pleasant, 'tis,

When brethren all agree.



May Zion's good be kept in view,

And bless our feeble aim,

That all we undertake to do,

May glorify thy name.
