Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #324 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship Lyrics: 1 Lord! 'tis a pleasant thing, to stand
In gardens planted by thy hand.
Let me within thy courts be seen,
Like a young cedar, fresh and green.
2 There grow thy saints in faith and love,
Blest with thine influence from above:
Not Lebanon, with all its trees,
Yields such a comely sight as these.
3 The plants of grace shall ever live;
Nature decays, but grace must thrive;
Time, that doth all things else impair,
Shall make them flourish strong and fair.
4 Laden with fruits of age, they show,
The Lord is holy, just, and true.
None, that attend his gates shall find
A God unfaithful or unkind. Topics: The Church Public Worship Languages: English
