LORD, I delight to find my place Among Thy people saved by grace. This house where heavenly kindness dwells All earthly power and pomp excels.
Here, where Thy saints Thy glory see, Make firm my rest; my dwelling be; Nor take me from such people dear, For Thou Thyself art present here.
Here then my feet shall loyal stand, And prove the goodness of Thy hand, And shall my voice in sweet accord Praise Thee, my ever-gracious Lord.
William Goode, 1762-1816‡
