218. Jesus, stand among us

1 Jesus, stand among us
In Thy risen power,
Let this time of worship
Be a hallowed hour.

2 Breathe the Holy Spirit
Into every heart,
Bid the fears and sorrows
From each soul depart.

3 Thu with quickened footsteps
We pursue our way,
Watching for the dawning
Of eternal day.
