Lord, Meet With Us

Representative Text

1 In thy gracious name we gather, Lord divine,
Meet with us we pray;
Tho’ no earthly dwelling can thy pow’r confine,
Meet with us we pray.

Refrain:
O hear us, we pray thee,
Let thy blessing fall,
For in thy name we gather,
On thy name we call.

2 May we lay aside the weight of worldly care,
Meet with us we pray;
May we come with willing hearts thy truth to hear,
Meet with us we pray. [Refrain]

3 Lord, revive our souls and set our hearts aflame,
Meet with us we pray;
Send us forth thy blessed gospel to proclaim,
Meet with us we pray. [Refrain]

4 Lord, revive our souls, O come, thou heav’nly dove,
Meet with us we pray;
Fill our waiting hearts with thine eternal love,
Meet with us we pray. [Refrain]

5 Here we gather that we may our strength renew,
Meet with us we pray;
To the world we bravely go thy will to do,
Meet with us we pray. [Refrain]
