Hymn #415

’Mid Pleasures and Palaces

Lyrics

Verse 1

'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home!
A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there,
Which, seek through the world, is ne'er met with elsewhere.

The birds singing sweetly, that came at my call;
Give me, then, that peace of mind dearer than all.

Verse 3

The unsatisfied heart turns and says with a sigh —
