O Lord, my heart cries out for thee,
While far from thine abode:
When shall I tread thy courts, and see
My Saviour and my God?
To sit one day beneath thine eye,
And hear thy gracious voice,
Exceeds a whole eternity
Employed in carnal joys.
Lord, at thy threshold I would wait,
While Jesus is within,
Rather than fill a throne of state,
Or dwell in tents of sin.
Could I command the spacious land,
Or the more boundless sea,
For one blest hour at thy right hand
I'd give them both away.
