There where two or three are gathered

1.
There where two or three are gathered
In Christ’s name to seek His face,
He is there with us together,
Meeting needs by His great grace.
To the voice of Jesus’ Spirit
We will listen, so we hear it.
Jesus, grant us grace to learn
Of Your ways—for this we yearn.
2.
You provide for all creation
By Your good, almighty hand.
Nourish us with exhortation,
That we strong in Spirit stand.
Eyes of faith to us You’re giving;
Now for You alone we’re living,
In our spirit, body, soul—
Freed from earth and its control.
3.
Soon the trumpet will be sounding;
Christ will call His bride away.
Home in heav’n with joy abounding,
She’ll be clothed in bright array.
Let’s be watchful, seek salvation.
Now’s our time of preparation—
Seek God’s kingdom first so we
As Christ’s firstfruits ripe will be.
