To which thy God resorts!

His saving power displays,
And light breaks in upon our eyes,
With kind and quickening rays.
3 With his rich gifts the heavenly Dove
Descends, and fills the place,
While Christ reveals his wondrous love,
And sheds abroad his grace.

The secrets of thy will:
And still we seek thy mercy there,
And sing thy praises still.

My Saviour and my God!

And suffers no remove;
Oh make me like the sparrows, blest,
To dwell but where I love.

And hear thy gracious voice,

Employ'd in carnal joys.

While Jesus is within,
Rather than fill a throne of state,
Among the tents of sin.

And the more boundless sea,
For one blest hour at thy right hand
I'd give them both away. Scripture: Psalm 84:1-3 Languages: English

Or western hills of golden ore.

And guard me safe from death and sin.

And made thy grace my only choice. Scripture: Psalm 119:71-74 Languages: English
