Appears in 158 hymnals First Line: My Soul, how lovely is the Place Lyrics: 1 My Soul, how lovely is the Place To which thy GOD resorts! 'Tis Heaven to see his smiling Face, Though in his earthly Courts. 2 There the great Monarch of the Skies His saving Pow'r displays, And Light breaks in upon our Eyes With kind and quick'ning Rays. 3 With his rich Gifts the heav'nly Dove Descends and fills the Place, While Christ reveals his wond'rous Love, And sheds abroad his Grace. 4 There, mighty GOD, thy Words declare The Secrets of thy Will; And still we seek thy Mercy there, And sing thy Praises still. Pause. 5 My Heart and Flesh cry out for Thee, While far from thine Abode; When shall I tread thy Courts, and see My Saviour and my GOD. 6 The Sparrow builds herself a Nest, And suffers no Remove; O make me, like the Sparrows, blest, To dwell but where I love. 7 To sit one Day beneath thine Eye, And hear thy gracious Voice, Exceeds a whole Eternity Employ'd in carnal Joys. 8 Lord at thy Threshold I would wait While JESUS is within, Rather than fill a Throne of State, Or live in tents of Sin. 9 Could I command the spacious Land, And the more boundless Sea, For one blest Hour at thy Right Hand I'd give them both away.
