Lyics

No place there is on earth more sweet

More rich with pure delight, more rich with pure delight,

Than where our Father's children meet

To worship Him aright,

To wor-ship Him aright,

To wor-ship Him aright.



With saints on earth to sing his praise,

Inspires with holy zeal:

With joy the note of song shall raise,

As we his presence feel.



In harmony our voices join

To sing our Saviour's name;

Bright angels too, their powers combine

To celebrate his fame.



Here, from the holy word of God,

"By inspiration given."

We learn the path our Saviour trod-

The way that leads to heaven.



Who can forsake assembling here,

While grace and truth declare,

If we in Jesus' name appear,

His presence shall be there?



If earth afford a joy so dear,

Where partings oft are known,

What heights of glory shall appear

Forever near God's throne!
