God's Pavilion

Verse 1

Grant me within thy courts a place, Among thy saints a seat, Forever to behold thy face, And worship at thy feet,

Verse 2

In thy pavilion to abide When storms of trouble blow, And in thy tabernacle hide, Secure from every foe.

Verse 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."

Verse 4

Then leave me not when griefs assail, And earthly comforts flee; When father, mother, kindred fail, My God, remember me!
