603. Jesus, we look to thee

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

2 Thy name salvation is,
Which here we come to prove;
Thy name is life and health and peace
And everlasting love.

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, O thyself reveal!
Now, Lord, let every waiting heart
Thy mighty comfort feel!

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