At meeting of Friends

Hymnal: A Choice Collection of Hymns and Spiritual Songs #LXXXVIII (1774) First Line: Well met, dear Friends, in Jesus' Name Lyrics: 1 Well met, dear Friends in Jesus' Name, Come let us now rejoice, While we our Saviour's Praise proclaim, With chearful 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, Where e'er we meet with Thee. 4 A Dungeon shews a heav'nly dawn, When there with Thee we dwell, But when thy Presence is with-drawn, A Palace proves a Hell. 5 Then, O dear Jesus, condescend To meet us with a smile! Thy Spirit's quick'ning Influence send And purge our Hearts from Guile. 6 That at the Close each one may say, We meet not here in vain; For we have tasted Heav'n to Day, Nor could we more contain.

Meeting with Friends

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns, selected from sundry poets #VI (1791) First Line: Well met dear friends, in Jesus' name Lyrics: 1 Well met, dear friends in Jesus' name, Come let us now rejoice; Whilst we our Saviour's praise proclaim, With chearful 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 heaven most sweet, Where e'er we meet with thee. 4 A dungeon shows a heavenly dawn, When there with thee we dwell; But when thy presence is withdrawn, A palace proves a hell. 5 Then, O dear Jesus, condescend To meet us with a smile; Thy spirit's quick influence send, And purge our hearts from guile. 6 That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.

Meeting of Friends

Hymnal: A New Collection of Hymns and Spiritual Songs, from various authors—some entirely new (3rd Windsor Ed.) #II (1793) First Line: Well met, dear friends, in Jesus' name Lyrics: 1 Well met, dear friends in Jesus' name, Come let us now rejoice, Whilst we our Saviour's praise proclaim, With cheerful heart and voice. 2 But, Oh! dear Jesus, Lamb of God, Send down the heavenly 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 heaven most sweet— Dear Lord, we cleave to thee. 4 A dungeon shows a heavenly dawn, When there with thee we dwell; But when thy presence is withdrawn, A palace is a hell. 5 Then, O dear Jesus, condescend To meet us with a smile; Thy spirit's quick'ning influence send, And purge our hearts from guile; 6 That at the close each one may say, We meet not here in vain; For we have tasted heav'n to day, Nor could we more contain.
