Jesus, Where'er Thy People Meet

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: AMEC1984 #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.

What though no real voice nor sound Amid their radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice; Forever singing, as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine."
