Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight: Alleluia! 5 Let every instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise! And may God give us faith to sing always: Alleluia!

Pleasant are Thy courts above

Author: H. F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Appears in 248 hymnals Topics: House of God Lyrics: 1 Pleasant are Thy courts above, In the land of light and love; Pleasant are Thy courts below, In this land of sin and woe. O! my spirit longs and faints For the converse of Thy saints, For the brightness of Thy face, For Thy fulness, God of grace! 2 Happy birds that sing and fly Round Thy altars, O Most High! Happier souls that find a rest In a heavenly Father's breast! Like the wandering dove that found No repose on earth around, They can to their ark repair, And enjoy it ever there. 3 Happy souls! their praises flow Even in this vale of woe; Waters in the desert rise, Manna feeds them from the skies. On they go from strength to strength, Till they reach Thy throne at length, At Thy feet adoring fall, Who hast led them safe through all. 4 Lord, be mine this prize to win: Guide me through a world of sin; Keep me by Thy saving grace; Give me at Thy side a place Sun and shield alike Thou art; Guide and guard my erring heart: Grace and glory flow from Thee; Shower, O shower them, Lord, on me!
