rockbridge - lucius chapin lyrics
far from my thoughts, vain world, begone
let my religious hours alone:
fain would my eyes my savior see;
i wait a visit, lord, from thee
my heart grows warm with holy fire
and kindles with a pure desire:
come, my dear jesus, from above
and feed my soul with heavenly love
the trees of life immortal stand
in fragrant rows at thy right hand;
and in sweet murmurs, by their side
rivers of bliss perpetual glide
haste, then, but with a smiling face
and spread the table of thy grace;
bring down a taste of fruit divine
and cheer my heart with sacred wine
blest jesus, what dеlicious fare!
how sweet thy entertainmеnts are!
never did angels taste above
redeeming grace, and dying love
hail, great immanuel, all divine!
in thee thy father’s glories shine;
thou brightest, sweetest, fairest one
that eyes have seen or angels known
