323. Around the throne of grace we meet

Around the throne of grace we meet,
In Pentecostal bands,
With Christian love each other greet,
And join our hearts and hands.

Now all as one, and one as all,
Faith, feelings, hopes the same,
On our Lord Jesus Christ we call,
And glorify His name.

At once upon ten thousand flowers,
The morning sunbeams strike,
Millions of blades of grass--Spring showers
Baptize from heaven alike.

So may the Sun of Righteousness
On our assembly shine,
And showers of consolation bless
Our souls with peace divine.

Hence, when we to our homes return,
Rejoicing let us say,
"Did not our hearts within us burn,
While Christ went all our way?"
