While here on earth we rove;

Speak to our hearts, and let us feel

The kindlings of Thy love.

2 With Thee conversing, we forget

All toil and time and care;

Labor is rest, and pain is sweet,

If Thou art present there.

3 Here then, our God, be pleased to stay,

And bid our hearts rejoice;

Our bounding hearts shall own Thy sway,
