| Text: | Jesus, we love to meet |
| Tune: | EMILIE |
| Composer: | Dr. Vanderweyde |
1 Jesus, we love to meet
On this thy holy day,
We worship round thy seat,
On this thy holy day.
Thou, tender, heavenly Friend,
To thee our prayers ascend:
O'er our young spirits bend
On this thy holy day.
2 We dare not trifle now
On this thy holy day.
In silent awe we bow
On this thy holy day.
Check every wandering thought,
And let us all be taught
To serve thee as we ought
On this thy holy day.
3 We listen to thy word
On this thy holy day.
Bless all that we have heard
On this thy holy day.
Go with us when we part,
And to each youthful heart
Thy saving grace impart
On this thy holy day.
