|
<p>My Lord, how full of sweet content;<br>
|
|
I pass my years of banishment!<br>
|
|
Where’er I dwell, I dwell with Thee,<br>
|
|
In heaven, in earth, or on the sea.</p>
|
|
<p>To me remains nor place nor time;<br>
|
|
My country is in every clime;<br>
|
|
I can be calm and free from care<br>
|
|
On any shore, since God is there.</p>
|
|
<p>While place we seek, or place we shun<br>
|
|
The soul finds happiness in none;<br>
|
|
But with a God to guide our way,<br>
|
|
’Tis equal joy, to go or stay.</p>
|
|
<p>Could I be cast where Thou are not,<br>
|
|
That were indeed a dreadful lot:<br>
|
|
But regions none remote I call,<br>
|
|
Secure of finding God in all.</p>
