Author: John Fawcett Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #436 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Religion is the chief concern
Of mortals here below:
May I its great importance learn,
Its sovereign virtue know!
2 O may my heart, by grace renewed,
Be my Redeemer’s throne;
And be my stubborn will subdued,
His government to own!
3 Let deep repentance, faith, and love
Be joined with godly fear;
And all my conversation prove
My heart to be sincere.
4 Let lively hope my soul inspire;
Let warm affections rise;
And may I wait with strong desire
To mount above the skies!
