1 Far from my thoughts, vain world, begone:
Let my religious hours alone;
From flesh and sense I would be free,
And hold communion, Lord, with thee.
2 My heart grows warm with holy fire,
And kindles with a pure desire,
To see thy grace, to taste thy love,
And feel thy influence from above.
3 When I can say that God is mine,
When I can see thy glories shine,
I'll tread the world beneath my feet,
And all that men call rich and great.
4 Send comfort down from thy right hand
To cheer me in this barren land;
And in thy temple let me know
The joys that from thy presence flow.
