Within your churches, Lord, I long to find my place; to see your power and glory there, and feel your quickening grace. Within your churches, Lord, I long to find my place.

In wakeful hours of night I call my God to mind; I think, how wise your counsels are, and all your dealings kind. In wakeful hours of night I call my God to mind.
