A Selection of Psalms and Hymns ‎#CCVI

CCVI. At Meeting

1 Well met, dear friends in Jesus' name
Come let us now rejoice,
While we our Saviour's praise proclaim
With cheerful heart and voice.

2 But, O dear Jesus Lamb of GOD,
Send down the heav'nly dove,
His graces to diffuse abroad,
And warm our hearts with love!

3 In vain, dear Saviour here we meet,
Except thy face we see:
Thy presence makes a heav'n most sweet
When e'er we meet with thee.

4 Then, O dear Jesus condescend,
To meet us with a smile,
Thy Spirit's quick'ning infl'ence send,
And purge our hearts from guile.

5 That at the close each one may say,
We meet not here in vain,
For we have tasted heaven to day,
Nor could we more contain.
