This hymn has a unique tune

 

Repeat the last line of each verse

 

 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.

 

 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.
