Lyrics: Isaac Watts
Tune: Glen Wright, 1990
Meter: L.M. (8.8.8.8.)

Lord, 'tis a pleasant thing to stand
In gardens planted by thy hand,
Let me within thy courts be seen
Like a young cedar fresh and green.

There grow thy saints in faith and love,
Bless'd with thy influence from above.
Not Lebanon with all its trees
Yields such a comely sight as these.
