Sweet Place is a Hymn by Samuel Crossman and music composed by John Darwall and Aaron Williams. :Sweet place; sweet place alone! ::The court of God most high, :The heaven of heavens, the throne ::Of spotless majesty! :::''Refrain'' ::O happy place! :When shall I be, my God, with Thee, ::To see Thy face? :The stranger homeward bends, ::And sigheth for his rest: :Heaven is my home, my friends ::Lodge there in Abraham’s breast. :::''Refrain'' :Earth’s but a sorry tent, ::Pitched but a few frail days, :A short leased tenement; ::Heaven’s still my song, my praise. :::''Refrain'' :No tears from any eyes ::Drop in that holy choir: :But death itself there dies, ::And sighs themselves expire. :::''Refrain'' :There should temptations cease, ::My frailties there should end. :There should I rest in peace ::In the arms of my best friend. :::''Refrain'' :Jerusalem on high ::My song and city is, :My home whene’er I die, ::The center of my bliss. :::''Refrain'' :Thy walls, sweet city! thine ::With pearls are garnished, :Thy gates with praises shine, ::Thy streets with gold are spread. :::''Refrain'' :No sun by day shines there, ::No moon by silent night. :O no! these needless are; ::The Lamb’s the city’s light. :::''Refrain'' :There dwells my Lord, my King, ::Judged here unfit to live; :There angels to Him sing, ::And lowly homage give. :::''Refrain'' :The patriarchs of old ::There from their travels cease: :The prophets there behold ::Their longed for Prince of peace. :::''Refrain'' :The Lamb’s apostles there ::I might with joy behold: :The harpers I might hear ::Harping on harps of gold. :::''Refrain'' :The bleeding martyrs, they ::Within those courts are found; :All clothed in pure array, ::Their scars with glory crowned. :::''Refrain'' :Ah me! ah me! that I ::In Kedar’s tents here stay; :No place like this on high; ::Thither, Lord! guide my way. :::''Refrain'' ==External links== * (Sweet Place ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sweet Place」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
