How pleasant, how divinely fair

Pause. 5 My Heart and Flesh cry out for Thee, While far from thine Abode; When shall I tread thy Courts, and see My Saviour and my GOD. 6 The Sparrow builds herself a Nest, And suffers no Remove; O make me, like the Sparrows, blest, To dwell but where I love. 7 To sit one Day beneath thine Eye, And hear thy gracious Voice, Exceeds a whole Eternity Employ'd in carnal Joys. 8 Lord at thy Threshold I would wait While JESUS is within, Rather than fill a Throne of State, Or live in Tents of Sin. 9 Could I command the spacious Land, And the more boundless Sea, For one blest Hour at thy Right Hand I'd give them both away.

Where GOD resorts, I love it more To keep the Door Than shine in Courts. 6 GOD is our Sun and Shield, Our Light and our Defence; With Gifts his Hands are fill'd, We draw our Blessings thence; He shall bestow On Jacob's Race Peculiar Grace, And Glory too. 7 The Lord his People loves; His Hand no Good with-holds From those his Heart approves, From pure and pious Souls: Thrice happy he, O GOD of Hosts, Whose Spirit trusts Alone in Thee.
