If ’tis sweet to mingle where

Christians meet for social prayer;

If ’tis sweet with them to raise

Songs of holy joy and praise—

Passing sweet that state must be,

Where they meet eternally.

2 Saviour, may these meetings prove

Antepasts to that above;

While we worship in this place,

May we go from grace to grace,

Till we each, in his degree,

Fit for endless glory be.
