To ask a second grace we join; Answer in us thine own design, When life's important hour is o'er, (The end for which we here did meet) Place us together on thy seat; Do this, and we can ask no more. "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Matt. xviii. 20. Can we believe this precious word, And not assemble in thy name, Sure, if we meet, to meet our Lord, And catch thy whisper, "Here I am!" Where two or three with faithful heart Unite to plead the promise given, As truly in the midst thou art, As in the countless hosts of heaven. "Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all." Matt. xviii. 26. Thy debtor at thy feet I fall: But can I ever pay thee all? Or for a single sin atone? No, Lord: I leave it to thy Son. "He loosed him, and forgave him the debt." Matt. xviii. 27. Master, thou didst the same by me, When at thy feet I lay; Thy grace forgave, and set me free, And left me nought to pay: The full discharge of all my debt I thankfully receive, And thus my fellow-servants treat, And thus like thee forgive.
