O Lord, where'er Thy people meet

O Lord, where'er Thy people meet There they behold Thy mercy-seat: Where'er they see Thee, Thou art found, And every place is hallowed ground.

Great Shepherd of Thy chosen few Thy former mercies here renew; Here to our waiting hearts proclaim The sweetness of Thy saving Name.

Now may we prove the power of prayer To strengthen faith and banish care; To teach our faint desires to rise, And bring all heaven before our eyes.
