CCCXLI. The pleasures of social Worship

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

2 Not the fair palaces
To which the great resort
Are once to be compar'd with this,
Where Jesus holds his court.

3 Here on the mercy-seat,
With radiant glory crown'd,
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 To them his sovereign will
He graciously imparts:
And in return accepts with smiles,
The tribute of their hearts.

6 Give me, O Lord, a place
Within thy blest abode,
Among the children of thy grace,
The servants of my God.
