Jesus, We Look To Thee

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. Not in the name of pride Or selfishness we meet; From nature?s paths we turn aside, And worldly thoughts forget. We meet, the grace to take Which Thou hast freely giv?n; We meet on earth for Thy dear sake That we may meet in Heav?n. Present we know Thou art; But, O, Thyself reveal! Now, Lord, let ev?ry waiting heart The mighty comfort feel. O may Thy quickening voice The death of sin remove; And bid our inmost souls rejoice, In hope of perfect love.
