How charming is the place

Where my Redeemer God

Unvails the beauties of his face,

And sheds his love abroad!

2 Not the fair palaces

To which the great resort,

Are once to be compared with this,

Where Jesus holds his court.

3 Here on the mercy-seat,

With radiant glory crowned,

Our joyful eyes behold him sit,

And smile on all around.

4 To him their prayers and cries

Each humble soul presents;

He listens to their broken sighs,

And grants them all their wants.

5 Give me, O Lord, a place

Within thy blessed abode,

Among the children of thy grace,

The servants of my God.
