The Glorious Presence

Representative Text

1 Where two or three, with sweet accord,
Obedient to their sovereign Lord,
Meet to recount his acts of grace,
And offer solemn prayer and praise.

2 There, says the Saviour, will I be,
Amid this little company;
To them unvail my smiling face,
And shed my glories round the place.

3 We meet at thy command, dear Lord,
Relying on thy faithful word;
Now send thy Spirit from above,
Now fill our hearts with heavenly love.
