Jesus, We Look to Thee
"He shall give you another comforter that He may abide with you for ever." - John 14:16
VERSE 1
Jesus, we look to Thee,
Thy promised presence claim;
Thou in the midst of us shalt be,
Assembled in Thy name.
VERSE 2
Thy name salvation is,
Which here we come to pride;
Thy name is life, and health, and peace,
And everlasting love.
VERSE 3
Not in the name of pride,
Or selfishness we meet;
From nature's paths we turn aside,
And worldly thoughts forget.
VERSE 4
We meet, the grace to take
Which Thou hast freely given;
We meet on earth for Thy dear sake,
That we may meet in heav'n.
VERSE 5
Present we know Thou art,
But O Thyself reveal!
Now, Lord, let every bounding heart
The mighty comfort feel.
VERSE 6
O may Thy quick'ning voice
The death of sin remove;
And bid our inmost souls rejoice
In hope of perfect love!
