Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #41 (2011) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 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.
Amen. Topics: Worship and Praise Opening; Opening Scripture: Psalm 108:4 Languages: English Tune Title: MALVERN
