Appears in 269 hymnals Topics: Prayer and Invocation First Line: Far from the world, O Lord, I flee Lyrics: 1 Far from the world, O Lord, I flee,
From strife and tumult far;
From scenes where Satan wages Still
His most successful war.

With prayer and praise agree;
And seem by thy great bounty made
For those who follow thee.

And grace her mean abode;
Oh! with what peace, and joy, and love,
She then communes with God.

And Christ invites us near;
With both, our friendship shall be sweet,
And our communion dear.
2 God pities all our griefs:
He pardons every day;
Almighty to protect our souls,
And wise to guide our way.
3 How large his bounties are!
What various stores of good,
Diffused from our Redeemer's hand,
And purchased with his blood.
4 Jesus, our living Head,
We bless thy faithful care;
Our Advocate before the throne,
And our Forerunner there.
5 Here fix, my roving heart!
Here wait, my warmest love!
Till the communion be complete,
In nobler scenes above. Used With Tune: SHIRLAND

Retirement
Author: Mrs. Phoebe H. Brown Appears in 640 hymnals Topics: Prayer and Invocation First Line: I love to steal awhile away Lyrics: 1 I love to steal awhile away
From every cumbering care,
And spend the hours of setting day
In humble, grateful prayer.

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 doth 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. Used With Tune: WOODSTOCK

Come and Find the Quiet Centre
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit Praise and Invocation Lyrics: 1 Come and find the quiet centre
in the crowded life we lead,
find the room for hope to enter,
find the frame where we are freed:
clear the chaos and the clutter,
clear our eyes, that we can see
all the things that really matter,
be at peace, and simply be.
2 Silence is a friend who claims us,
cools the heat and slows the pace,
God it is who speaks and names us,
knows our being, face to face,
making space within our thinking,
lifting shades to show the sun,
raising courage when we're shrinking,
finding scope for faith begun.
3 In the Spirit let us travel,
open to each other's pain,
let our loves and fears unravel,
celebrate the space we gain:
there's a place for deepest dreaming,
there's a time for heart to care,
in the Spirit's lively scheming
there is always room to spare! Used With Tune: BEACH SPRING
