Gathered in Thy name, Lord Jesus,
|
|
| 1. | Gathered in Thy name, Lord Jesus, |
| | Losing sight of all but Thee, |
| | O what joy Thy presence gives us, |
| | Calling up our hearts to Thee! |
| 2. | Loved with love which knows no measure, |
| | Save the Father's love to Thee, |
| | Blessed Lord, our hearts would treasure |
| | All the Father's thoughts of Thee. |
| 3. | All His joy, His rest, His pleasure- |
| | All His deep delight in Thee- |
| | Lord, Thy heart alone can measure |
| | What Thy Father found in Thee. |
| 4. | How He set His love upon Thee- |
| | Called Thee His beloved Son; |
| | Yet for us He did not spare Thee, |
| | By Thy death our life was won. |
| 5. | O the joy, the wondrous singing, |
| | When we see Thee, as Thou art! |
| | Thy blest name, Lord Jesus, bringing |
| | Sweetest music to God's heart. |
| 6. | Notes of gladness, songs unceasing, |
| | Hymns of everlasting praise, |
| | Psalms of glory, joy increasing, |
| | Through God's endless day of days. |
