how pleasant and how fair
the dwellings of thy love,
thy earthly temples, are!
To thine abode
my heart aspires,
with warm desires
to see my God.

where God appoints to hear!
O happy ones that pay
their constant service there!
They praise thee still;
and happy they
that love the way
To Sion’s hill.

through this dark vale of tears,
till each arrives at length,
till each in heaven appears:
O glorious seat!
when God our King,
shall thither bring
our willing feet. Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136TH

who are struggling hard with sin?
Tell them all about the Savior.
Tell them that he will be found.
Sisters, pray, and holy manna
will be showered all around.

seeking grace and filled with fears?
Is there here a weeping Mary
pouring forth a flood of tears?
Brethren, join your cries to help them;
sisters, let your prayers abound!
Pray, O pray, that holy manna
will be scattered all around.

let us love each other, too.
Let us love and pray for sinners
till our God makes all things new.

at his table we’ll sit down.

with sweet manna all around.
