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.
  (Repeat the last line of each stanza)
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.
  (Repeat the last line of each stanza)
