Lord, should we leave Thy hallowed feet

Verse 1

Lord, should we leave Thy hallowed feet, To whom should we repair? Where else such holy comforts meet, As spring eternal there?

Verse 2

Earth has no fount of true delight, No pure perennial stream; And sorrow's storm, and death's long night, Obscure life's brightest beam.

Verse 3

Unmingled joys 'tis Thine to give, And undecaying peace: For Thou canst teach us so to live, That life shall never cease.

Verse 4

Thou only canst the cheering words Of endless life supply; Anointed of the Lord of lords, The Son of God most high!
