LyicsHOW charming is the place
Where my Redeemer, God,
Unveils the beauties of His face,
And sheds His love abroad!
Not the fair palaces
To which the great resort
Are once to be compar'd with this,
Where Jesus holds His court.
Here, on the mercy-seat,
With radiant glory crown'd,
Our joyful eyes behold Him sit,
And smile on all around.
To Him their pray'rs 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 blest abode,
Among the children of Thy grace,
The servants of my God.
