We coLie to-day from near and far, The light of hope our guiding star ; In Jesus' name we gather here, For strength and words of cheer.
Oh, wondrous words, sweet words of cheer That Jesus speaks in tones so clear : Still may they grow to us more dear While gathered in His name.
2. 'Tis good to meet in His blest name, And all His wondrous love proclaim ; To find the way of life more dear, And hear glad words of cheer.
3. O Saviour, bless our Christian band, For Thee enlisted, heart and hand ; Incline to us Thy gracious ear, And give us words of cheer.
4. And when we leave this hallowed place, Oh, grant to us Thy heavenly grace; In all our way, oh, be Thou near, To speak glad words of cheer.
