Hymn 238: Lord, in Thy Presence we are Met,

Verse 1

Lord, in Thy Presence we are Met,

A full salvation to proclaim;

To testify of grace received,

Or offered now in Jesus’ Name;

Dear Lord, to Thee our spirits cry, 

Our ev’ry longing satisfy.


Verse 2

We ask Thee, Lord-for Thou art 

here

Make this a Pentecostal hour,

When this a Pentecostal hour,

When hungering souls from Thee 

receive

Pardon, or purity, or power;

Unstop deaf ears, let blind, eye [see,

Bring souls into Thy liberty.


Verse 3

Thou Knowest sin-sick souls are [here

Sick with depravity within,

Restless, discouraged, wearied ones, 

And thou art here to cleanse 

from sin;

Oh! speak the word “I will, be [whole”;

And save and sanctify each soul.


Verse 4

Grant to Thy servant boldness now, 

That faithful they speak  Thy 

Word,

“By stretching forth Thy hand to [heal,”

Let signs and wonders from the Lord,

Here in our midst to-day be done, 

So, Father, glorify Thy Son.


Verse 5

W wait-according to Thy Word,

Lord, let it to Thy servants be;

May nothing-self, pride, prejudices; 

Or unbelief-still hinder Thee 

Bless’d Spirit, have unhindered way 

In yielded hearts and lives to-day.

Mary E. Maxwell.
