LyicsHow charming is the place
Where my Redeemer God
Unvails the beauties of his face,
And sheds his love abroad!
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 bless'd abode,
Among the children of thy grace,
The servants of my God.
