Thou friend and Saviour, kind and tried,
Near whom, no grief can long abide;
We pass our years in sweet content,
Beneath thy watchful government.
All scenes to us may happy prove,
If thou dost manifest thy love;
Where’er we dwell, we dwell with thee,
In heaven or earth, on land or sea.
No more the slaves of place and time,
Thy saints are blessed in every clime;
The can be calm and free from care
On any shore, for thou art there.
Eager for joys beneath the sun
We can find happiness in none;
But when on thee we cast our care
We must be happy everywhere.
Could we be cast where thou art not,
That were indeed a dreadful lot;
But regions none we gloomy call,
Secure of finding thee in all.
