LyicsThou, Saviour, from thy throne on high,
Enrobed with light, and girt with power,
Dost note the thought, the prayer, the sigh,
Of hearts that love the tranquil hour.
Oft thou thyself didst steal away,
At eventide from labor done,
In some still, peaceful shade to pray,
Till morning watches were begun.
Thou hast not, dearest Lord, forgot
Thy wrestlings on Judea's hills;
And still thou lov'st the quiet spot
Where praise the lowly spirit fills.
Now to our souls, withdrawn a while
From earth's rude, noise, thy face reveal,
And, as we worship, kindly smile,
And for thine own our spirits seal.
