Words

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

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

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