{{Vs|1}} Pleasant are thy courts above | |||
In the land of light and love; | |||
Pleasant are thy courts below | |||
In this land of sin and woe. | |||
O, my spirit longs and faints | |||
For the converse of thy saints, | |||
For the brightness of thy face, | |||
For thy fullness, God of Grace! | |||
' | {{Vs|2}} Happy birds that sing and fly | ||
Round thy altars, O most High; | |||
Happier souls that find a rest | |||
In a heavenly Father's breast. | |||
Like the wandering dove that found | |||
No repose on earth around, | |||
They can to their ark repair | |||
And enjoy it ever there. | |||
{{mdl}} | |||
{{Vs|3}} Happy souls, their praises flow | |||
Even in this vale of woe; | |||
Waters in the desert rise, | |||
Manna feeds them from the skies; | |||
On they go from strength to strength, | |||
Till they reach thy throne at length, | |||
At thy feet adoring fall, | |||
Who hast led them safe through all. | |||
{{Vs|4}} Lord, be mine this prize to win; | |||
Guide me through a world of sin; | |||
Keep me by thy saving grace; | |||
{{ | Give me at thy side a place. | ||
Sun and shield alike thou art; | |||
Guide and guard my erring heart; | |||
Grace and glory flow from thee; | |||
Shower, O shower them, Lord, on me! | |||
