Lyics

I love to steal awhile away

From ev'ry cumb'ring care,

And spend the hours of setting day

In humble, grateful prayer.



I love in solitude to shed

The penitential tear;

And all his promises to plead

When none but God is near.



I love to think on mercies past,

And future good implore;

My cares and sorrows all to cast

On Him whom I adore.
