LyicsHow charm-ing is the place
Where my Re-deem-er, God,
Un-veils the beau-ties of his face,
And sheds his love a-broad!
Not the fair palaces
To which the great resort
Are once to be compared with this,
Where Jesus holds his court.
Here on the mercy-seat,
With radiant glory crowned,
Our joyful eyes behold him sit,
And smile on all around.
To him their prayers and cries
Each humble soul presents;
He listens to their broken sighs,
And grants them all their wants.
Give me, O Lord, a place
Within thy blessed abode,
Among the children of thy grace,
The servants of my God.
