His Fullness Songs ‎#39

39. I Was As Glad

1 I was as glad as I could be
When one who worships said to me;
Let us unto God's house repair,
And meet His saints and worship there.

Refrain:
I was as glad as I could be
When one who worships said to me,
Let us unto God's house repair,
And meet His saints and worship there.

2 Here, here my feet delight to stand,
Like Israel in the promised land;
Here often I delight to sit
And learn God's ways at Jesus' feet. [Refrain]

3 The throne of judgment here we find,
Here men their hearts to glory bind;
The Son of David rules within
These sacred walls and conquers sin. [Refrain]

4 May peace prevail within Thy gates,
O church, the peace which God creates;
That peace born of a holy love,
Which hath its origin above. [Refrain]

5 Here let the Saviour meet His own
And to their hearts His will make known;
Here let us taste of heaven's bliss,
And not a purchased blessing miss. [Refrain]
