JESUS, we look to thee, Thy promised presence claim; Thou in the midst of us shalt be, Assembled in thy name. 2 Not in the name of pride Or selfishness we meet; From nature's paths we turn aside, And worldly thoughts forget. 3 We meet the grace to take, Which thou hast freely given; We meet on earth for thy dear sake, That we may meet in heaven. 4 Present we know thou art, But, oh, thyself reveal! Now, Lord, let every bounding heart Thy mighty comfort feel. 5 Oh, may thy quickening voice The death of sin remove; And bid our inmost souls rejoice, In hope of perfect love. Charles Wesley.
