Representative Text

1 It is not with the multitude,
I feel my heart revive;
It is not with the giddy throng,
My soul is kept alive.
'Tis in the silent, sacred hour,
When none but God is near,
My heart is filled with sacred love,
And reverential fear.

Chorus:
Not with the multitude,
Not with the multitude;
No place is so sweet as the mercy seat,
Where none but God is near.

2 It is not with the multitude,
I hear the still small voice,
Which whispers messages of love,
And bids my heart rejoice;
Oh, no, 'tis when withdrawn from earth,
And ev'ry earthbound tie,
I hear Thy kind parental voice,
And Abba Father cry. [Chorus]

3 It is not with the multitude,
My sweetest joys arise;
Not even with the saints on earth,
The' bound by sacred ties.
The fellowship of saints is sweet,
But sweeter, better far,
Is fellowship with Christ my Lord,
The bright and Morning Star. [Chorus]
