Daniel Read - Derby - текст песни (слова)

Lord of the worlds above,
 How pleasant and how fair
 The dwellings of Thy love,
 Thy earthly temples are!
 To thine abode
 My heart aspires,
 With warm desires
 To see my God.
 
 To spend one sacred day
 Where God and saints abide,
 Affords diviner joy
 Than thousand days beside:
 Where God resorts,
 I love it more
 To keep the door
 Than shine in courts.
 
 The Lord his people loves;
 His hand no good withholds
 From those His heart approves,
 From pure and pious souls:
 Thrice happy he,
 O God of hosts,
 Whose spirit trusts
 Alone in Thee.
