In thine abode

Sweet peace and gladness reign;

While left below

My soul would here remain:

Among thy sons

Whom sacred wisdom guides,

Within whose breast

The love of God presides.

Here milk and wine

To cheer the fainting flow,

And living streams

That whiter make than snow.

Unto all men

The wisdom, Lord, be given,

To seek thy house,

And learn the work of heaven.
