How beautiful, thy dwelling place

  Amid the stars and endless space,

My Home – at last, I’ve made my choice

  By sounds of heart, not uttered voice,

Thy sweetness Lord, lifts high my soul

  When ‘ere I hear the church bells toll,

That brings me to your holy place

  And fills me with your warm embrace.

Your touch of love, while earth I roam

  Till hence you deign to bring me home.
