Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #167 (2018) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, where'er your people meet,
there they behold your mercy seat;
where'er they seek you, you are found,
and ev'ry place is hallowed ground.
2 For you, within no walls confined,
are dwelling in the humble mind;
such ever bring you where they come,
and going, take you to their home.
3 Dear Shepherd of your chosen few,
your former mercies here renew;
here to our waiting hearts proclaim
the sweetness of your saving name.
4 Here may we prove the pow'r of pray'r
to strengthen faith and sweeten care,
to teach our faint desires to rise,
and bring all heav'n before our eyes.
5 Lord, we are few, but you are near;
nor short your arm, nor deaf your ear;
O rend the heav'ns, come quickly down,
and make a thousand hearts your own. Topics: Christ Abiding with Believers; Election; Mercy Seat; Opening of Worship; Prayer Scripture: Isaiah 57:15 Languages: English Tune Title: WARRINGTON
