Fain would I put my trust in thee,
That pleasant land and mountain see:
Ah, give me, Saviour, to possess
The land of rest and righteousness;
Then, then my spotless soul lift up
To meet my Lord on Sion’s top,
And claim thro’ thy redeeming love
A lot with all the saints above!
Fain would I put my trust in thee
