Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #XCd (1785) First Line: Return, O GOD of love, return Lyrics: 1 Return, O GOD of love, return;
Earth is a tiresome place:
How long shall we thy children mourn
Our absence from thy face?
2 Let heaven succeed our painful years,
Let sin and sorrow cease,
And in proportion to our tears
So make our joys increase.
3 Thy wonders to thy servants show,
Make thy own work complete;
Then shall our souls thy glory know,
And own thy love was great.
4 Then shall we shine before thy throne
In all thy beauty, Lord;
And the poor service we have done
Meet a divine reward. Scripture: Psalm 90:13-17 Languages: English
Breathing after Heaven
