I: Jesus, where'er thy people meet, / There they behold thy mercy-seat; / Where'er they seek thee, thou art found, / And every place is hallow'd ground.
II: For thou, within no walls confined, / Inhabitest the humble mind; / Such ever bring thee where they come, / And going, take thee to their home.
III: Dear Shepherd of thy chosen few, / Thy former mercies here renew; / Here to our waiting hearts proclaim / The sweetness of thy saving name.
IV: Here may we prove the power of pray'r / To strengthen faith and sweeten care --
To teach our faint desires to rise, / And bring all heaven before our eyes.
V: Behold, at thy commanding word, / We stretch the curtain and the cord; / Come thou, and fill this wider space, / And bless us with a large increase.
VI: Lord, we are few, but thou art near; / Nor short thine arm, nor deaf thine ear; / O rend the heavens, come quickly down, / And make a thousand hearts thine own!
