LyicsFar from my thoughts, vain world begone;
Let my religious hours alone;
Fain would mine eyes my Saviour 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 heav'nly love.
O haste, but with a smiling face,
And spread the table of thy grace;
Bring down a taste of truth divine,
And cheer my heart with sacred wine.
Bless'd Jesus, what delicious fare!
How sweet thy entertainment are;
Never did'Angels taste above
Redeeming grace, redeeming love!
Hail great Emmanuel, divine!
In thee thy Father's glories shine;
Thou brightest, fairest, sweetest one
That eyes have seen or Angels known.
