LyicsO Lord, how full of sweet content
My years of pilgrimage are spent!
Whene'er I dwell, I dwell with thee,
In heaven, in earth or on the sea.
To me remains nor place nor time;
My country is in every clime:
I can be calm and free from care
On any shore, since God is there.
While place I seek, or place I shun,
The soul finds happiness in none;
But with my God to guide my way,
'T is equal joy to go or stay.
Could I be cast where thou are not,
That were indeed a dreadful lot;
But regions none remote I call,
Secure of finding God in all.
