LyicsJESUS, where'er Thy people meet,
There they behold Thy mercy-seat;
Where'er they seek Thee, Thou art found;
And every place is hallow'd ground.
Dear Shepherd of Thy chosen few,
Thy former mercies here renew;
Here to our waiting hearts proclaim
The sweetness of Thy saving name.
Here may we prove the pow'r of pray'r
To strengthen faith and banish care;
To teach our faint desires to rise,
And bring all heav'n before our eyes.
