LyicsFar from my thoughts, vain world! begone,
Let my religious hours alone:
Fain would mine 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.
Blest Savior, what delicious fare-
How sweet thine entertainments 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!
