Gathered to Thy name, Lord Jesus,
Losing sight of all but Thee,
O what joy Thy presence gives us,
Calling up our hearts to Thee.
Yet with reverence we would linger
In the shadow of Thy cross,
Which has closed
our hearts for ever
To the world and all its dross.
Loved with love
which knows no measure
Save The Father’s love to Thee,
Blessèd Lord, out hearts
would treasure
All the Father’s thoughts of Thee.
Blood-bought, reconciled, forgiven,
Here Thy death we love to show,
Waiting till above in heaven
All Thy glory we shall know.
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.
How He set His love upon Thee,
Called Thee His belovèd Son;
Yet for us He did not spare Thee,
By Thy death our life was won.
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.
Notes of gladness, songs unceasing,
Hymns of everlasting praise,
Psalms of glory, joy increasing
Through God’s endless day of days.
