"Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. And He sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. And they said unto Him, WHERE WILT THOU THAT WE PREPARE?" (Luke 22:7-97Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. 8And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. 9And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? (Luke 22:7‑9)). Read Luke 22:7-207Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. 8And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. 9And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? 10And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. 11And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? 12And he shall show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. 13And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 14And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 15And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 16For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 19And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. 20Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. (Luke 22:7‑20).
God has given so minutely clear instructions for the path,
Where the Lord of Glory deigns to meet His own;
If we earnestly beseech Him, and will follow where He leads,
We will find the place, so clearly He makes known.
And to all who ask "Where wilt Thou that we prepare" the feast?
He will guide them by His Spirit and His Word,
For it is the Lord of glory, who would gather round Himself,
Every soul who truly owneth Him as Lord.
And the place of His appointment, is of His desire and mind,
'Tis a place that He the Lord our God shall choose,
And He earnestly desireth, there to meet with all His own,
That the blessing that it brings they might not lose.
To be gathered with Himself alone, in His appointed place,
Where the Holy Spirit leads the song of praise,
Brings a blessing as we worship, and remember Him in death,
As our grateful songs of thanks to Him we raise.
Yes, there is a place of blessing, where Christ is in the midst,
It is far off from the systems formed by man:
It is with our blessed Savior, just gathered to His Name,
Where the Spirit leads, according to God's plan.
Oh! beloved, let me ask you, will you not on bended knee,
Ask the Lord "Where wilt Thou" we remember Thee?
For 'tis only He can show you, where Christ is in the midst,
Only if we follow Him, His place we'll see.
In this day of much confusion, when puzzled and perplexed,
If we look to Christ, who's evermore the same,
Our Great All Gracious Shepherd, would gather every lamb,
He would gather them in His most blessed Name.
