God and his church; or, Grace and glory. <br /> <br />Great God, attend, while Zion sings <br />The joy that from thy presence springs: <br />To spend one day with thee on earth <br />Exceeds a thousand days of mirth. <br /> <br />Might I enjoy the meanest place <br />Within thy house, O God of grace, <br />Not tents of ease, nor thrones of power, <br />Should tempt my feet to leave thy door. <br /> <br />God is our sun, he makes our day; <br />God is our shield, he guards our way <br />From all th' assaults of hell and sin, <br />From foes without and foes within. <br /> <br />All needful grace will God bestow, <br />And crown that grace with glory too! <br />He gives us all things, and withholds <br />No real good from upright souls. <br /> <br />O God, our King, whose sovereign sway <br />The glorious hosts of heav'n obey, <br />And devils at thy presence flee, <br />Blest is the man that trusts in thee.<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-84-part-2/
