Jesus! where'er Thy people meet, br There they behold Thy mercy seat; br Where'er they seek Thee, Thou art found, br And every place is hallow'd ground. br br For Thou, within no walls confined, br Inhabitest the humble mind; br Such ever bring Thee where they come br And going, take Thee to their home. br br Dear Shepherd of Thy chosen few! br Thy former mercies here renew; br Her to our waiting hearts proclaim br The sweetness of Thy saving name. br br Here may we prove the power of prayer, br To strengthen faith, and sweeten care; br To teach our faint desires to rise, br And bring all Heaven before our eyes. br br Behold, at Thy commanding word br We stretch the curtain and the cord; br Come Thou, and fill this wider space, br And bless us with a large increase. br br Lord, we are few, but Thou art near: br Nor short Thine arm, nor deaf Thine ear; br Oh rend the heavens, come quickly down, br And make a thousand hearts Thine own.
