In thine abode

Translator: Joseph Morris (1854)
Published in 1 hymnal

Representative Text

In thine abode
Sweet peace and gladness reign;
While left below
My soul would here remain:
Among thy sons
Whom sacred wisdom guides,
Within whose breast
The love of God presides.

Here milk and wine
To cheer the fainting flow,
And living streams
That whiter make than snow.
Unto all men
The wisdom, Lord, be given,
To seek thy house,
And learn the work of heaven.
