This text takes us through many aspects of liturgy. It is C19 text by William Bullock, reworked by Henry Williams Baker and altered by the editors here presumably to make it both more Catholic and less archaic.
There is a lovely appreciation of the hymn here, which mentions the many variations in the text.
CWB sets it to MARIA JUNG UND ZALT a combination unknown to Hymnary, but perhaps an English usage as CWB got the hymn from Jubilate.
This is the text from Ancient and Modern:
1 We love the place, O God,
wherein thine honour dwells;
the joy of thine abode
all earthly joy excels.2 We love the house of prayer,
wherein thy servants meet;
and thou, O Lord, art there
thy chosen flock to greet.3 We love the sacred font;
for there the holy Dove
to pour is ever wont
his blessing from above.4 We love thine altar, Lord;
O what on earth so dear?
for there, in faith adored,
we find thy presence near.5 We love the word of life,
the word that tells of peace,
of comfort in the strife,
and joys that never cease.6 We love to sing below
for mercies freely given;
but O we long to know
the triumph-song of heaven.7 Lord Jesus, give us grace
on earth to love thee more,
in heaven to see thy face,
and with thy saints adore.
CWB has this version:
1 We love the place, O God,
in which your honour dwells:
the joy of your abode
all earthly joy excels.2 We love the house of prayer,
for where Christ’s people meet;
our risen Lord is there
to make our joy complete.3 We love the word of life,
the word that tells of peace,
of comfort in the strife,
and joys that never cease.4 We love the cleansing sign
of life through Christ our Lord,
where with the name divine
we seal the sons of God.5 We love the holy feast
where nourished with this food,
by faith we feed on Christ,
his body and his blood.6 We love to sing below
for mercies freely given,
but O, we long to know
the triumph-song of heaven.7 Lord Jesus, give us grace
on earth to love you more,
in heaven to see your face,
and with your saints adore.
