My God, permit me not to be

Author: I. Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 344 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, permit me not to be A stranger to myself and Thee: Amidst a thousand tho'ts I rove, Forgetful of my highest love. 2 Why should my passions mix with earth, And thus debase my heavenly birth? Why should I cleave to things below, And all my purest joys forego? 3 Call me away from flesh and sense; Thy grace, O Lord, can draw me thence: I would obey the voice divine, And all inferior joys resign. Amen. Topics: General; Lent; Parochial Missions Used With Tune: HAMBURG
