We Love the Place, O God

"Lord, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, where Thy honour dwelleth." - Ps 26:8

THE CHURCH OF GOD• 7 VERSES

VERSE 1

We love the place, O God,
Wherein Thine honour dwells
The joy of Thine abode,
All earthly joy excels.

It is the house of prayer,
Wherein Thy servants meet;
And Thou, O Lord, art there
Thy chosen flock to greet.

We love the sacred font,
For there the Holy Dove,
Pours out, as He is wont,
The effluence from above.

We love our father's board,
Oh what on earth so dear!
Where faithful hearts, O Lord,
Still find Thy presence near.

We love the word of life,
The word that tells of peace,
Of comfort in the strife,
And joys that never cease.

We love to sing below
For mercies freely given:
But oh! we long to know
The trimph-song of heaven.

Lord Jesus, give us grace
On earth to love Thee more,
In heaven to see Thy face,
And with Thy saints adore.
