Public Worship.

Who can expect to be by Jesus blest, If absent when he comes to meet his guests? Can those who once have tasted Jesus' grace, Choose to be absent when he shows his face? Shall a few drops of rain, or dusty road, Prevent their public intercourse with God?
See! Satan's slaves to scenes of riot go, By day and night, through rain, or hail, or snow; And shall some visitor, or worldly care, Detain believers from the house of prayer?
Forbid it, Lord! revive thy people's zeal; The lukewarm-plague among thy people heal; Ye heirs of bliss, whom Jesus often meets, Whene'er his house is opened, fill your seats.
