“If two of you agree … it shall be done.” Matt. 18. 19

1 We have thy promise, gracious Lord,
  Thou wilt be where thy people meet;
  O, then, fulfil thy gracious word,
  And make our happiness complete.

2 Thy promise is to two or three,
  Who meet together in thy name;
  That for whatever they agree
  To ask, they surely shall obtain.

3 We ask thy gracious presence here,
  The sweet enjoyment of thy love;
  From worldly thoughts O keep us clear,
  And set our hearts on things above.

4 We ask thy Holy Spirit’s aid,
  Whilst we’re engaged in prayer and praise;
  We ask from our great living Head
  To be supplied with every grace.

5 We ask for faith a sweet increase,
  To find our doubts and fears removed,
  To feel the powerful reign of peace,
  And every sinful thought subdued.

6 We ask to feel a union sweet,
  We ask a blessing on thy word;
  We ask – but all our askings meet
  In this – we ask thy presence, Lord!
