Author: Benjamin Cleveland Appears in 270 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 63:3 First Line: Oh, 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: Absence from God; Afflictions; Backsliding; Christians Conflicts; Conflict With Sin; Consistency; Constancy; Declenson spiritual Used With Tune: EVAN
