Text:Presence of Jesus
Author:C. Wesley

155. Presence of Jesus

Not in the name of pride
Or selfishness we’re met;
From worldly paths we turn aside,
And worldly thoughts forget.

Jesus, we look to thee,
Thy promised presence claim!
Thou in the midst of us shalt be,
Assembled in thy name.

Present we know thou art;
But, O, thyself reveal!
Now, Lord, let every bounding heart
Thy peace and gladness feel!

O, may thy quickening voice
The death of sin remove;
And bid our inmost souls rejoice
In hope of perfect love!
