14. 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 earth's fair palaces,
To which the great resort,
Are once to be compared with this,
Where Jesus holds his court.

3 Give me, O Lord, a place
Within thy blest abode,
Among the children of thy grace,
The servants of my God.
