Grant me within thy courts a place
1
Grant me within thy courts a place,Among thy saints a seat,Forever to behold thy face,And worship at thy feet,—
2
In thy pavilion to abideWhen storms of trouble blow,And in thy tabernacle hide,Secure from every foe.
3
"Seek ye my face!" Without delay,When thus I hear thee speak,My heart would leap for joy, and say,"Thy face, Lord, will I seek."
4
Then leave me not when griefs assail,And earthly comforts flee;When father, mother, kindred fail,My God, remember me!
