Jesus, we thy promise claim;We are gathered in thy name:In the midst do thou appear;Manifest thy presence here.

2

Sanctify us, Lord, and bless;Breathe thy Spirit, give thy peace;Come and dwell within each heart,Light, and life, and joy impart.

3

Make us all in thee complete;Make us all for glory meet;Meet to stand before thy sight,Partners with the saints in light.

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «483» (large) in the right column of p. 155, under «John Cennick.» of hymn 482, with the italic reference line «720, 333, 457.» (= sing to the tunes of hymns 720, 333 or 457) beside the number; stanzas 1–3 in the right column, «Anon.» in italics after stanza 3, at the foot of the page. The first word «JESUS» is set in capitals and small capitals. The lines of each stanza are not indented in the print. The print sets a thin space before «;» and «:» («claim ;», «name :», «bless ;», «peace ;», «complete ;», «meet ;»); it is closed up here. No meter is printed (the text is 7s, like the three tunes referred to). Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's.
