Title: Lord of the worlds above

Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

Lord of the worlds above 
Lord of the worlds above, how pleasant and how fair the dwellings of thy love, thine earthly temples are! To thine abode, my heart aspires with warm desires to see my God. 
O happy souls that pray where God appoints to hear! O happy men that pay their constant service there! They praise thee still; and happy they that love the way to Zion's hill. 
They go from strength to strength, through this dark vale of tears, till each arrives at length, till each in heaven appears; O glorious seat, when God, our King, shall thither bring our willing feet. 
God is our sun and shield, our light and our defense; with gifts his hands are filled; we draw our blessings thence. Thrice happy he, O God of hosts, whose spirit trusts alone in thee.
