Jesus, Where'er Thy People Meet
"For where two or three are gathered ... There am I in the midst of them." - Matt 18:20
VERSE 1
Jesus, 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.
VERSE 2
For Thou, within no walls confined,
Inhabitest the humble mind;
Such ever bring Thee where they come,
And, going, take Thee to their home.
VERSE 3
Dear shepherd of Thy chosen few,
Thy former mercies here renew;
Here to our waiting hearts proclaim
The sweetness of thy Saving Name.
VERSE 4
Here may we prove the power of prayer,
To strengthen faih, and sweeten care,
To teach our faint desires to rise,
And bring all heaven before our eyes.
VERSE 5
Lord, we are few, but Thou art near,
Nor short Thine arm, nor deaf Thine ear;
O rend the heavens, come quickly down,
And make all hearts, O Lord, Thine own.
