"Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.”
1 PRESENT with the two or three,
Deign, most gracious God, to be,
While we lift our souls to Thee.
2 Jesus! by Thy blood alone, Who didst for our sins atone, Dare we come before Thy throne.
3 Thou who knowest all our need, Grant the prayer of faith to plead, Teach us how to intercede.
4 Thou hast led us in the way, And hast taught us how to say, "Abba, Father," when we pray.
5 Holy Spirit, from on high Helping our infirmity,
Aid us in our feeble cry.
6 Flesh and heart would faint and fail, But there stands within the Veil One who ever doth prevail.
7 Glory to the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Three in One, While the endless ages run.
"Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!"
IS a pleasant thing to see Brethren in the Lord agree, Children of a God of love, Live as they shall live above, Acting each a Christian part, One in life, and one in heart.
2 As the precious ointment shed Upon Aaron's hallowed head, Downward through his garments stole, Spreading odour o'er the whole, So from our High Priest above To His Church flows heavenly love.
3 Gently as the dews distil
Down on Sion's holy hill, Dropping gladness where they fall, Brightening and refreshing all; Such is Christian union, shed Through the members from the Head.
4 Where divine affection lives, There the Lord His blessing gives, There on earth His will is done, There His heaven is half begun; Lord, our great example prove, Teach us all like Thee to love.
