LyicsO, where is now that glowing love
That mark'd our union with the Lord?
Our hearts were fix'd on things above.
Nor could the world a joy afford.
Where is the zeal that led us then
To make our Saviour's glory known;
That freed us from the fear of men,
And kept our eyes on him alone?
Where are the happy seasons spent
In fellowship with him we loved?
The sacred joy, the sweet content,
The blessedness that then we proved?
Behold, again we turn to thee,
O cast us not away, though vile!
No peace we have, no joy we see,
O Lord, our God, but in thy smile.
