O Lord, where’er Thy people meet
There they behold Thy mercy-seat:
Where’er they see Thee, Thou art found,
And every place is hallowed ground.
There they behold Thy mercy-seat:
Where’er they see Thee, Thou art found,
And every place is hallowed ground.
Great Shepherd of Thy chosen few
Thy former mercies here renew;
Here to our waiting hearts proclaim
The sweetness of Thy saving Name.
Now may we prove the power of prayer
To strengthen faith and banish care;
To teach our faint desires to rise,
And bring all heaven before our eyes.
