I love to steal awhile away

Author: Mrs. Brown Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 631 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 65:17 Lyrics: 1 I love to steal awhile away From every cumb'ring care; And spend the hours of setting day In humble, grateful prayer. 2 I love in solitude to shed The penitential tear; And all his promises to plead, Where none but God can hear. 3 I love to think on mercies past, And future good implore; And all my cares and sorrows cast On him whom I adore. 4 I love by faith to take a view Of brighter scenes in heaven: The prospect does my strength renew, While here by tempests driven. 5 Thus, when life's toilsome day is o'er, May its departing ray Be calm as this impressive hour, And lead to endless day.

Constrain the earth to come; Send thy victorious word abroad, And bring the strangers home. Topics: Church Ordinances of; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table Used With Tune: DUNDEE
