Away From Every Mortal Care

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9313 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Away from every mortal care, Away from earth, our souls retreat; We leave this worthless world afar, And wait and worship near Thy seat. 2 Lord, in the temple of Thy grace We see Thy feet, and we adore; We gaze upon Thy lovely face, And learn the wonders of Thy power. 3 While here our various wants we mourn, United groans ascend on high; And prayer bears a quick return Of blessings in variety. 4 If Satan rage, and sin grow strong, Here we receive some cheering word; We gird the Gospel armor on To fight the battles of the Lord. 5 Or if our spirit faints and dies, Our conscience galled with inward stings, Here doth the righteous Sun arise With healing beams beneath His wings. 6 Father! my soul would still abide Within Thy temple, near Thy side; But if my feet must hence depart Still keep Thy dwelling in my heart.

Away from every mortal care

Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #47 (1890) Lyrics: 1 Away from every mortal care, Away from earth, our souls retreat; We leave this worthless world afar, And wait and worship near Thy seat. 2 Lord, in the temples of Thy grace, We bow before Thee and adore; We view the glories of Thy face, And learn the wonders of Thy power. 3 Whilst here our various wants we mourn, United prayers ascend on high; And faith expects a sure return Of blessings in variety. 4 Father! my soul would still abide; Or, if my feet must hence depart, Still keep me, Father, near Thy side, Still keep Thy dwelling in my heart.
