Jesus, we look to Thee,

Thy promised presence claim;

Thou in the midst of us shalt be,

Assembled in Thy name.

Thy name salvation is,

Which here we come to pride;

Thy name is life, and health, and peace,

And everlasting love.

Not in the name of pride

Or selfishness we meet;

From nature's paths we turn aside,

And worldly thoughts forget.

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.

Present we know Thou art,

But O Thyself reveal!

Now, Lord, let every bounding heart

The mighty comfort feel.

O may Thy quick’ning voice

The death of sin remove;

And bid our inmost souls rejoice

In hope of perfect love!
