Fain would I be where Jesus is,
Lodged safe in his endeared embrace,
Deriving still enrapturing bliss,
And viewing still his lovely face.
Whilst in this distant land I dwell,
I faintly see my Saviour God;
In heaven they all his glories tell,
And faith directs to his abode.
This is the path my soul would tread
And holiness would still pursue;
Here may unerring wisdom guide,
Almighty grace support me through.
