Jesus, Where’er Thy People Meet

Lyrics by
William Cowper (1779)
Music by
John Bacchus Dykes (1875)
Tune
ST. OSWALD · 7.7.7.7
Scripture
Matthew 18:20
Verse 1
Jesus, where'er Thy people meet,
There they behold Thy mercy seat;
Where'er they seek Thee, Thou art found,
And every place is hallowed ground;
Verse 2
For Thou, within no walls confined,
Dost dwell with those of humble mind;
Such ever bring Thee where they come,
And, going, take Thee to their home.
Verse 3
Great Shepherd of Thy chosen few,
Thy former mercies now renew;
And to our waiting hearts proclaim
The sweetness of Thy saving name.

A contemplative hymn about Christ's presence wherever believers gather in prayer and worship.
