1 We love the place, O God,
Wherein Thine honour dwells;
The joy of Thine abode
All earthly joy excels.
2 It is the house of prayer,
Wherein Thy servants meet;
And Thou, O Lord, art there,
Thy chosen flock to greet.
3 We love the word of life,
The word that tells of peace,
Of comfort in the strife
And joys that never cease.
4 We love to sing below
For mercies freely given;
But O we long to know
The triumph song of heaven!
5 Lord Jesus, give us grace,
On earth to love Thee more,
In heaven to see Thy face,
And with Thy saints adore.
