Jesus, we look to Thee, <br />Thy promised presence claim; <br />Thou in the midst of us shall be, <br />Assembled in Thy Name. <br /> <br />Thy Name salvation is, <br />Which here we come to prove; <br />Thy Name is life, and health, and peace, <br />And everlasting love. <br /> <br />Not in the name of pride <br />Or selfishness we meet; <br />From nature’s paths we turn aside, <br />And worldly thoughts forget. <br /> <br />We meet, the grace to take <br />Which Thou hast freely giv’n; <br />We meet on earth for Thy dear sake <br />That we may meet in Heav’n. <br /> <br />Present we know Thou art; <br />But, O, Thyself reveal! <br />Now, Lord, let ev’ry waiting heart <br />The mighty comfort feel. <br /> <br />O may Thy quickening voice <br />The death of sin remove; <br />And bid our inmost souls rejoice, <br />In hope of perfect love.<br /><br />Charles Wesley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jesus-we-look-to-thee/
