Gathered in Thy name, Lord Jesus,
Losing sight of all but Thee,
O what joy Thy presence gives us,
Calling up our hearts to Thee!
Losing sight of all but Thee,
O what joy Thy presence gives us,
Calling up our hearts to Thee!

Loved with love which knows no measure,
Save the Father’s love to Thee,
Blessed Lord, our hearts would treasure
All the Father’s thoughts of Thee.

All His joy, His rest, His pleasure—
All His deep delight in Thee—
Lord, Thy heart alone can measure
What Thy Father found in Thee.

How He set His love upon Thee—
Called Thee His beloved Son;
Yet for us He did not spare Thee,
By Thy death our life was won.

THE SECRET TO CHRISTIAN MEETINGS AS SEEN IN HEBREWS
In this chapter we will consider the secret to Christian meetings based on the following three portions in Hebrews: “I will declare Your name to My brothers; in the midst of the church I will sing hymns of praise to You” ( 2:12 ), “Not abandoning our own assembling together, as the custom with some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more as you see the day drawing near” ( 10:25 ), and “Through Him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise continually to God, that is, the fruit of lips confessing His name” ( 13:15 ).
Hebrews presents a contrast between the Old Testament and the New Testament by portraying a transcendent and rich Christ. Hebrews begins by presenting Christ as God—the Son of God ( 1:4-14 ). Then it shows that Christ, the Son of God, was incarnated to be the Son of Man ( 2:5-18 ). Hence, He is superior to the angels. As the Apostle sent by God, He is superior to Moses, and as the High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek, He is superior to Aaron ( 3:1-6 ; 4:14—7:28 ). In comparison to the sacrifices of the Old Testament, Christ is the better sacrifice for our enjoyment ( 8:1—10:18 ). In addition to presenting many aspects of Christ, Hebrews speaks concerning Christian meetings.
