- 1How charming is the place
- Where my Redeemer God
- Unveils the beauties of His face
- And sheds His love abroad.
- 2Not the fair palaces
- To which the great resort,
- Are once to be compared with this,
- Where Jesus holds His court.
- 3Here, on the mercy-seat,
- With radiant glory crowned,
- Our joyful eyes behold Him sit
- And smile on all around.
- 4To Him their prayers and cries
- Each humble soul presents:
- He listens to their broken sighs
- And grants them all their wants.
- 5To them His sovereign will
- He graciously imparts;
- And in return accepts, with smiles,
- The tribute of their hearts.
- 6Give me, O Lord, a place
- Within Thy blest abode,
- Among the children of Thy grace,
- The servants of my God.
- 7Amen.
