Lyrics

Where two or three, with sweet ac­cord,
Obedient to their so­ver­eign Lord,
Meet to re­count His acts of grace,
And offer so­lemn pray­er and praise;

There, says the Sav­ior, will I be,
Amid this lit­tle com­pa­ny;
To them un­veil My smil­ing face,
And shed My glo­ries round the place.

We meet at Thy com­mand, dear Lord,
Relying on Thy faith­ful Word:
Now send Thy Spir­it from above,
Now fill our hearts with hea­ven­ly love.
