1 See, Jesus, Thy disciples see,
The promised blessing give!
Met in Thy name, we look to Thee,
Expecting to receive.

Who in Thy name are joined;
We wait, according to Thy word,
Thee in the midst to find.

3 With us Thou art assembled here,
But O Thyself reveal!

4 Whom now we seek, O may we meet!
Jesus, the Crucified,
Show us Thy bleeding hands and feet
Thou who for us hast died.
