7s & 6s. "And we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed." Acts xxi, 5.

1 TWO or three in Jesu's name,
According to his word
Humbly met, may boldly claim
The presence of their Lord;
He himself prepares the fane (qqq- what's a fane? is this a misprint?)
With azure canopy o'erspread,
Ample dome to entertain
The members and their Head.

2 How august the hallowed place
To faith's discerning eye!
Hallowed by the present grace
Of him who fills the sky!
While the Spirit of love and prayer
Into their simple hearts is given,
Christ with all his church is there,
And turns their earth to heaven.
