6. How charming is the place

1 How charming is the place
Where my Redeemer God
Unvails the beauty of His face,
And sheds His love abroad!

2 Not the fair palaces
To which the great resort,
Are once to be compared with this,
Where Jesus holds His court.

3 Here on the mercy-seat,
With radiant glory crowned,
Our joyful eyes behold Him sit,
And smile on all around.

4 To Him their prayers and cries
Each humble soul presents;
He listens to their broken sighs,
And grants them all their wants.

5 Give me, O Lord, a place
Within Thy bless'd abode,
Among the children of Thy grace,
The servants of my God.
