Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #92 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics:
1.
Father, I long, I faint to see
The place of thy abode,
I'd leave these earthly courts, and flee
Up to thy courts, my God.
Here I behold thy distant face,
And 'tis a pleasing sight,
But to abide in thine embrace
Is infinite delight.
