Jesus, We Look to Thee

Jesus

we look to Thee

Thy pro­mised pre­sence claim;

Thou in the midst of us shall be

Assembled in Thy name.

Thy name sal­va­tion is

Which here we come to prove;

Thy name is life

and health

and peace

And ev­er­last­ing love.

Not in the name of pride

Or self­ish­ness we meet;

From na­ture’s paths we turn aside

And world­ly thoughts for­get.

We meet

the grace to take

Which Thou hast free­ly giv’n;

We meet on earth for Thy dear sake

That we may meet in Heav’n.

Present we know Thou art;

But

O

Thy­self re­veal!

Now

Lord

let ev’ry wait­ing heart

The migh­ty com­fort feel.

O may Thy quick­en­ing voice

The death of sin re­move;

And bid our in­most souls re­joice

In hope of per­fect love.
