1 

I would commune with Thee, my God;

   E'en to Thy seat I come;

I leave my joys, I leave my sins,

   And seek in Thee my home.

 2 

I stand upon the mount of God,

   With sunlight in my soul;

I see the storms in vales beneath,

   I hear the thunder's roll.

 3 

But I am calm with Thee, my God,

   Beneath these glorious skies;

And to the height on which I stand

   Nor storms nor clouds can rise.

 4 

Oh, this is life! Oh, this is joy,

   My God, to find Thee so;

Thy face to see, Thy voice to hear,

   And all Thy love to know.
