Hymn 503
Jesus, where'er thy people meet
- Jesus, where'er thy people meet,
There they behold Thy Mercyseat;
Where'er they seek Thee, Thou art found.
And every place is hallow'd ground.
- For Thou, within no walls confined,
Inhabitest the humble mind;
Such ever bring Thee where they come .
And, going, take Thee to their home.
- 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 power of prayer
To strengthen faith, and sweeten care.
To teach our faint desires to rise.
And bring all heaven before our eyes.
- 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.
Christly Living
