Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Let others choose the place of mirth Lyrics: 1 Let others choose the place of mirth, Of noise and revelry, Where phantom joys alone have birth, And from pursuers flee; Let me with kindred spirits meet, Where purer pleasures be, Before the blood-bought mercy-seat, Oh! the mercy-seat for me. 2 The place of prayer to me hath charms, Which others fail to see; "If cares distract, or fear alarms," To that defence I flee; 'Tis there I every grace obtain, For every grace is free: Oft as I need I go again-- Oh! the mercy-seat for me. 3 While wandering through this vale of wo, Of strife and vanity, To this retreat I daily go, And daily pleasures see; Nor would I quit the throne of grace, On earth a king to be, For earth contains no happier place-- Oh! the mercy-seat for me. Used With Tune: THE MERCY-SEAT FOR ME

Love at home

Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: The earth hath treasures fair and bright Lyrics: 1 The earth hath treasures fair and bright, Deep buried in her caves, And ocean hideth many a gem With his blue curling waves; Yet not within her bosom dark, O 'neath the dashing foam, Lies there a treasure equaling A world of love at home. 2 True sterling happiness and joy Are not with gold allied; Nor can it yield a pleasure like A cheerful, bright fireside. I enjoy not the man who dwells, In stately hail or dome, If 'mid his splendor he has not A world of love at home. 3 The friends whom time has proved sincere, 'Tis they alone can bring A sure relief to hearts that droop 'Neath sorrow's heavy wing. Though care and trouble may be mine, As down life's path I roam, I'll heed them not while still I have a world of love at home. Used With Tune: [The earth hath treasures fair and bright]

Heaven-Whispers

Appears in 34 hymnals First Line: There's not a bright and beaming smile Lyrics: 1 There's not a bright and beaming smile Which in the world I see, But turns my heart to future joy, And whispers "heaven" to me. Tho' often here my soul is sad, And falls the silent tear. There is a world where all are glad, And sorrow dwells not there. 2 I never grasp a friendly hand In greeting or farewell, But thoughts of an eternal home Within my bosom swell. A prayer to meet in heaven at last, Where all the ransomed come, And where eternal ages still Shall find us all at home. Used With Tune: [There's not a bright and beaming smile]
