1 Present with the two or three,
Deign, most gracious God, to be,
While we lift our souls to Thee.

2 Jesus, by Thy blood alone,
Who didst for our sins atone,
Dare we come before Thy throne.

3 Thou who knowest all our need,
Grant the prayer of faith to plead,
Teach us how to intercede.

4 Thou hast led us in the way,
And hast taught us how to say,
Abba, Father! when we pray.

5 Holy Spirit, from on high,
Helping our infirmity,
Aid us in our feeble cry.

6 Flesh and heart would faint and fail,
But there stands within the veil
One who ever doth prevail.

7 Glory to the Father, Son,
Holy Spirit, Three in One,
While the endless ages run.
