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 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.

3 Lord, we are few, but thou art near,
nor short thine arm, nor deaf thine ear:
oh rend the heavens, come quickly down
and make a thousand hearts thine own.
