Hymn 536

Jesus, where'er Thy people meet

Jesu, nib’ ẹni Rẹ pade

Meter L.M (8.8.8.8) Saju Adura
  1. Jesus, where'er Thy people meet,
    There they behold Thy mercy seat;
    Where'er they seek Thee, Thou art found,
    And every place is hallowed ground.

  2. For Thou within no walls confined,
    Dost dwell with those of humble mind;
    Such ever bring Thee where they come,
    And going take Thee to their home.

  3. Great Shepherd of Thy chosen few,
    Thy former mercies here renew;
    Here, to our waiting hearts, proclaim
    The sweetness of Thy saving Name.

  4. Here may we prove the power of prayer
    To strengthen faith and sweeten care;
    To teach our faint desires to rise,
    And bring all heaven before our eyes.

  5. Lord, we are few, but Thou art near;
    Nor short Thine arm, nor deaf Thine ear;
    Oh rend the heavens, come quickly down,
    And make a thousand hearts thine own! Amen.
