How charming is the place
Where my Redeemer God
Unveils the glories of his face,
And sheds his love abroad!

With radiant glory crowned,
Our joyful eyes behold him sit,
And smile on all around.

Each contrite soul presents;
And while he hears their humble sighs
He grants them all their wants.

Within thy blest abode;
Among the children of thy grace,
The servants of my God.

That may joy and peace afford;

Heal the sick, the captive free,
Let us all rejoice in thee.

Speak, and let thy servants hear--
Hear with meekness--
Hear thy word with godly fear.

While our days on earth are lengthened,
May we give them, Lord, to thee;
Cheered by hope, and daily strengthened,
May we run, nor weary be,
Till thy glory
Without clouds in heaven we see.

There, in worship, purer, sweeter,
Thee thy people shall adore;
Tasting of enjoyment greater
Far than thought conceived before;
Full enjoyment,
Full, unmixed, and evermore.

Fill our hearts with joy and peace;

For thy gospel’s joyful sound;
May the fruits of thy salvation
In our hearts and lives abound;

With us, evermore, be found.

Us from earth to call away,
Borne on angel’s wings to heaven,
Glad the summons to obey,
We shall surely
Reign with Christ in endless day.

Bless, oh, bless us, ere we go;
When we join the world, be near us,
Lest we cold and careless grow.
Savior! keep us;
Keep us safe from every foe.

As our steps are drawing nearer
To our everlasting home,
May our view of heaven grow clearer,
Hope more bright of joys to come;
And, when dying,
May thy presence cheer the gloom.

Again, with joyful feet, we come
To meet our Savior here.

Within these walls t’ abide,
The peace that dwelleth without end
Serenely by thy side!

Be strengthened as they pray.

And pure devotion rise,
While, round these hallowed walls, the storm
Of earth-born passion dies.
