'In Thy Name, O Lord, assembling' (hymn) written by Thomas Kelly

In Thy Name, O Lord, assembling,

We, Thy people, now draw near;

Teach us to rejoice with trembling;

Speak, and let Thy servants hear;

Hear with meekness,

Hear Thy Word with godly fear.


Grant us, Lord, some gracious token

Of Thy love before we part;

Crown Thy Word which will be spoken,

Life and peace to each impart,

And all blessings

Which will sanctify the heart.


While our days on earth are lengthened,

May we give them, Lord, to Thee;

Cheered by hope, and daily strengthened,

May we run, nor weary be,

Till Thy glory

Without cloud in heaven we see.


There, in worship purer, sweeter,

Thee thy people shall adore,

Tasting of enjoyment greater

Far from thought conceived before:

Full enjoyment,

Full, unmixed and evermore.
