Music by Philip P. Bliss, words by C. A. W.
Gathered in Your name, Lord Jesus,
Losing sight of all but You,
Oh, what joy Your presence gives us,
Calling up our hearts to You!
Loved with love that knows no measure,
Save the Father's love to You,
Blessed Lord, our hearts would treasure
All the Father's thoughts of You.
All His joy, His rest, His pleasure,
All His deep delight in You,
Lord, Your heart alone can measure
What Your Father found in You.
How He set His love upon You,
Called You His beloved Son;
Yet for us He did not spare You,
By Your death our life was won.
Oh, the joy, the wondrous singing,
When we see You as You are!
Your blessed 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.
