This hymn has a unique tune.

 
 1 

Gathered round Thyself, Lord Jesus,

We now seek Thy face;

May we know Thy presence with us,

Lord of grace!

 
 2 

Love divine first drew us to Thee,

In our sin and need;

For our sin, in deep compassion,

Thou didst bleed.

 
 3 

Risen Lord, in glory seated,

We are one with Thee;

Thou hast snapt the chains that bound us,

We are free.

 
 4 

Gratefully we Thee remember

As we break the bread,

Symbol of Thy body given

In our stead.

 
 5 

Drink we too "the cup of blessing"

Which Thy love has filled;

Through Thy blood we have redemption

Fears are stilled.

 
 6 

Backward look we, drawn to Calv'ry,

Musing while we sing;

Forward haste we to Thy coming,

Lord and King!
