LyicsLord of the worlds above,
How pleasant and how fair
The dwellings of thy love,
Thine earthly temples are:
To thine abode my heart aspires,
With warm desires to see my God.
O happy souls, who pray,
Where God appoints to hear;
O happy men, who pay
Their constant service there!
They praise thee still! and happy they,
Who love the way to Zion's hill.
They go from strength to strength,
Through this dark vale of tears,
Till each arrives at length,
Till each in heaven appears;
O glorious seat, when God our King
Shall thither bring our willing feet.
