23

1 Where two or three, with sweet accord, Obedient to their sov'reign Lord, Meet to recount His acts of grace, And offer solemn prayer and praise-2 "There," says the Saviour, "will I be, Amid this little company;

To them unveil my smiling face, And shed my glories round the place." 3 We meet at Thy command, dear Lord, Relying on Thy faithful word; Now send Thy Spirit from above, Now fill our hearts with heavenly love. 24

1 Away from ev'ry mortal care,

Away from earth, our souls retreat;

We leave this worthless world afar,
And wait and worship near Thy seat.

2 Lord, in the temples of Thy grace,
We bow before Thee and adore;
We view the glories of Thy face,
And learn the wonders of Thy power.

3 Whilst here our various wants we mourn,
United prayers ascend on high;
And faith expects a sure return

From Him who hears our feeble cry.

4 Father! my soul would here abide;
Or, if my feet must hence depart,
Still keep me, Father, near Thy side,
Still keep Thy dwelling in my heart.
