S. M.
As I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
Psalm 63:2.
My God, permit my tongue
This joy, to call thee mine;
And let my early cries prevail,
To taste thy love divine.
2 Within thy churches, Lord,
I long to find my place;
Thy power and glory to behold,
And feel thy quickening grace.
3 Since thou hast been my help,
To thee my spirit flies;
And on thy watchful providence,
My cheerful hope relies.
4 The shadow of thy wings
My soul in safety keeps;
I follow where my Father leads,
And he supports my steps.
Watts.
