10s & 11s. 1 APPOINTED by thee, We meet in thy name, And meekly agree To follow the Lamb, To trace thy example, The world to disdain, And constantly trample On pleasure and pain.
2 Rejoicing, in hope, we humbly go on, And daily take up The pledge of our crown; In doing and bearing The will of our Lord, We still are preparing To meet our reward.
3 O Jesus, appear! No longer delay To sanctify here, And bear us away, The end of our meeting On earth let us see, Triumphantly sitting In glory with thee!
