Lyics

Thou, Saviour, from thy throne on high,

Enrobed with light, and grit with power,

Dost note the thought, the prayer, the sigh

Of hearts that love the tranquil hour.



Oft thou thyself didnst 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 hill;

And still thou lov'st the quiet spot

Where praise the lowly spirit fills.



Now to our souls, wihtdrawn awhile

From earth's rude noise, thy face reveal,

And, as we worship, kindly smile,

And for thine own our spirits seal.



To thee we bring each grief and care.

To thee we fly while tempests lower;

Thou wilt the weary burdens bear

Of hearts that love the tranquil hour.
