Lyrics
Verse 1
Oh, what high and holy priv'lege, once again to gather here in the name of our Lord Jesus as we see his Day draw near. May we join in joyful rev'rence with thanksgiving, faith, and love as he welcomes in his people to the throne of grace above.
Verse 2
Oh, what high and holy priv'lege, voices raised in prayer and praise boldly bringing great petitions, gladly singing hymns of faith. May his grace at work among us cleanse and heal us from our sin, that our prayers may not be hindered, and our praises honor him.
Verse 3
Oh, what high and holy priv'lege, hearing from the word of God: heaven speaks in perfect wisdom; earth responds and stands in awe. Do our hearts not burn within us as we see God's promises find their final yes in Jesus, leading us to righteousness!
Verse 4
Oh, what high and holy priv'lege, this communion that we share with the Father, Son, and Spirit, and his people ev'rywhere. As we go with God's great blessing in the keeping of his grace, go in peace to love and service till we join again in praise.
