On this holy Lord's day morning, We again together meet

1 On this holy Lord's-day morning,
We again together meet,
To unite our hearts and voices,
And approach the mercy seat,
Lord, may we possess a spirit,
In accordance with thy word;
Feeling, praying, acting, giving,
That thy name be spread abroad.

2 Have we come to search the Scriptures,
Here our offerings, too, we bring,
That the wilderness may blossom,
And the desert places sing--
That the many now in darkness,
May arise to light divine;
And the Gospel in its brightness,
O'er the darkened earth may shine.
