By A Collection of Hymns

      S.M.
      1 JESU, 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 prove;
      Thy name is life, and health, and peace,
      And everlasting love.

      2 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 heaven.

      3 Present we know thou art,
      But O thyself reveal!
      Now, Lord, let every bounding heart
      The mighty comfort feel.
      O may thy quickening voice
      The death of sin remove;
      And bid our inmost souls rejoice
      In hope of perfect love!
