Wherever faithful souls are joined

1 Wherever faithful souls are join'd,
To worship God with heart and mind,
His promise is to meet them there,
To hear and answer all their pray'r.

2 Lord, here we join on thee to wait!
And hope to find thy mercy seat;
Lo! here we hope and trust thou art,
To strengthen ev'ry wailing heart.

3 Thy promise is, where two or three
Unite to make their pray'rs to thee:
Whate'er they ask, request or plead,
Such thou wilt give them as they need.

4 We join to pray with one accord,
And wait thy blessing, gracious Lord!
Thy grace and promise here renew,
And bring salvation to our view.

5 Our confidence to thee increase,
And let us feel establish'd peace;
O may we feel thy presence near!
And know that thou dost hear our pray'r.
