|
<p>Lord of earth, Thy forming hand,<br>
|
|
Well this beauteous frame hath planned,<br>
|
|
Woods that wave, and hills that tower,<br>
|
|
Ocean rolling in his power;<br>
|
|
Yet amidst this scene so fair,<br>
|
|
Should I cease thy smile to share,<br>
|
|
What were all its joys to me?<br>
|
|
Whom have I on earth but Thee?</p>
|
|
<p>Lord of heaven, beyond our sight<br>
|
|
Shines a world of purer light;<br>
|
|
There in love’s unclouded reign,<br>
|
|
Severed friends shall meet again:<br>
|
|
O that world is passing fair!<br>
|
|
Yet, if Thou wert absent there,<br>
|
|
What were all its joys to me?<br>
|
|
Whom have I in heaven but Thee?</p>
|
|
<p>Lord of earth and heaven, my breast<br>
|
|
Seeks in Thee its only rest;<br>
|
|
I was lost; Thy accents mild<br>
|
|
Homeward lured Thy wandering child:<br>
|
|
O if once Thy smile divine<br>
|
|
Ceased upon my soul to shine,<br>
|
|
What were earth or heaven to me?<br>
|
|
Whom have in each but Thee?</p>
