S. M.
How amiable are thy tabernacles.
Psalm 84:1.
How charming is the place
Where my Redeemer God
Unvails the beauties of his face,
And sheds his love abroad!
2 Not the fair palaces
To which the great resort,
Are once to be compared with this,
Where Jesus holds his court.
3 Here on the mercy-seat,
With radiant glory crowned,
Our joyful eyes behold him sit,
And smile on all around.
4 To him their prayers and cries
Each humble soul presents;
He listens to their broken sighs,
And grants them all their wants.
5 Give me, O Lord, a place
Within thy blessed abode,
Among the children of thy grace,
The servants of my God.
Stennett.
