LyicsMY soul! how lovely is the place
To which thy God resorts!
'Tis heav'n to see His smiling face,
Though in His earthly courts.
There the great Monarch of the skies
His saving pow'r displays,
And light breaks in upon our eyes
With kind and quick'ning rays.
There, mighty God! Thy words declare
The secrets of Thy will;
And still we seek thy mercy there,
And sing Thy praises still.
