1 Of all the Pleasures that we know,
Thy Service Lord exceeds the best;
Though in thy earthly Courts below,
What is it then among the Blest?

2 When we assemble to thy House,
And read thy Word, to praise, and pray,
To hear thy Gospel, pay our Vows,
With what Delight we spend the Day!

3 How short the hours of Worship seem!
What Raptures do our Spirits feel!
While we can speak and hear of him,
Who suffer'd Death to work our Weal!

4 From Morn till Noon, form Noon till Eve,
The pleasing theme we could attend;
Such Satisfaction we receive
As Strangers cannot comprehend.

5 All earthly Joys with these compar'd,
Are less than nothing in our Eyes;
Pleasures of Sense we disregard,
And those of Sin we would despise.
