LyicsTHOU, Saviour, from Thy throne on high,
Enrob'd with light, and girt with pow'r,
Dost note the thought, the pray'r, 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Now to our souls, withdrawn awhile
Form earth's rude noise, Thy face reveal,
And, as we worship, kindly smile,
And for Thine own our spirits seal.
