LyicsNo place there is on earth more sweet
More rich with pure delight,
More rich with pure delight, Then
Where our Father's children meet
To worship Him aright,
To worship Him aright,
To worship 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 sin 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?
