Great God, attend while Zion sings
1
Great God, attend while Zion singsThe joy that from thy presence springs;To spend one day with thee on earthExceeds a thousand days of mirth.
2
Might I enjoy the humblest placeWithin thy house, O God of grace!Not tents of ease, nor thrones of power,Should tempt my feet to leave thy door.
3
God is our sun, he makes our day;God is our shield, he guards our wayFrom all assaults of hell and sin,From foes without and foes within.
4
All needful grace will God bestow,And crown that grace with glory, too;He gives us all things, and withholdsNo needed good from upright souls.
