Author: Benjamin Cleveland Hymnal: Laudes Domini #297 (1890) First Line: O could I find, from day to day Lyrics: 1 Oh, could I find, from day to day,
A nearness to my God,
Then would my hours glide sweet away
While leaning on his word.
2 Lord, I desire with thee to live
Anew from day to day,
In joys the world can never give,
Nor ever take away.
3 Blest Jesus, come and rule my heart,
And make me wholly thine,
That I may never more depart,
Nor grieve thy love divine.
4 Thus, till my last, expiring breath,
Thy goodness I'll adore;
And when my frame dissolves in death,
My soul shall love thee more. Topics: Christian Experience; Backsliding; Christians Conflicts; Conflict With Sin; Backsliding; Christians Conflicts; Conflict With Sin Languages: English Tune Title: EVAN
