Lord, we gather in Thy name ; May we now Thy promise claim ; Grant Thy presence from above, And fill our souls with love.
Lord, we come on bended knee, Looking up by faith to Thee : Thou, on whom we cast our care, Bless this hour of prayer !
2. Welcome hour that ever brings Peace and gladness on its wings ; Hallowed rest and calm repose Thy tranquil joy bestows.
3. Now to us Thy grace impart, Nearer draw each waiting heart ; Consecrate us all Thine own, While here before Thy throne.
