 1 

Gathered in Thy name, Lord Jesus,

Losing sight of all but Thee,

O what joy Thy presence gives us,

Calling up our hearts to Thee!

 
 2 

Loved with love which knows no measure,

Save the Father's love to Thee,

Blessed Lord, our hearts would treasure

All the Father's thoughts of Thee.

 
 3 

All His joy, His rest, His pleasure —

All His deep delight in Thee —

Lord, Thy heart alone can measure

What Thy Father found in Thee.

 
 4 

How He set His love upon Thee —

Called Thee His beloved Son;

Yet for us He did not spare Thee,

By Thy death our life was won.

 
 5 

O the joy, the wondrous singing,

When we see Thee as Thou art!

Thy blest name, Lord Jesus, bringing

Sweetest music to God's heart.

 
 6 

Notes of gladness, songs unceasing,

Hymns of everlasting praise,

Psalms of glory, joy increasing,

Through God's endless day of days.
