Jesus We Look To Thee

 

"Where two or three are gathered together in My name,
there am I in the midst of them."
Matthew 18:20

Jesus we look to Thee,

Thy promised presence claim;

Thou in the midst of us shall 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.

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.

Present we know Thou art;

But, O, Thyself reveal!

Now, Lord, let every waiting heart

The mighty comfort feel.

Amen
