Author: William Cowper (1731-1800) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 514 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, where'er thy people meet,
there they behold thy mercy-seat;
where'er they seek thee thou art found,
and every place is hallowed ground.
2 For thou, within no walls confined,
inhabitest the humble mind;
such ever bring thee when they come,
and, going, take thee to their home.
3 Dear Shepherd of thy chosen few,
thy former mercies here renew;
here to our waiting hearts proclaim
the sweetness of thy saving name.
4 Here may we prove the power of prayer
to strengthen faith and sweeten care,
to teach our faint desires to rise,
and bring all heaven before our eyes.
5 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! Topics: Church nature of; Jesus Name; Prayer; Proper 12 Year C; Proper 18 Year A; The Fourth Sunday before Lent Year A; The Third Sunday of Lent Year A Scripture: Isaiah 57:15 Used With Tune: WAREHAM
