Verse 1
Jesus, Thou hast promised That where two or three In Thy name have gathered, Thou wilt present be; And Thy word believing, Now in prayer we kneel; Jesus, come and bless us; Lord, Thyself reveal.
Refrain
Jesus, come and bless us While we linger here; Jesus, come and bless us, Be Thou ever near.
Verse 2
Jesus, Thou hast met us Oft in seasons past, But we need Thy presence With us till the last; Come, O blessed Saviour, And Thy grace display; Hear us and accept us; Bless us while we pray.
Verse 3
Jesus, tune our voices To Thy songs of praise; Be in each petition That to Thee we raise; May our faith grow stronger, And our hope more bright; May our love be purer, And our path more light.
