Guardian of Pure Hearts

Author: Johan Olof Wallin, 1779-1839; Last verse by Jesper Svedberg, 1653-1735 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #158a (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Hymnal Title: Hymnal and Order of Service First Line: Guardian of pure hearts, and Hearer Lyrics: 1 Guardian of pure hearts, and Hearer, Lord, of every faithful prayer, In Thy courts one day is dearer, Than a thousand days elsewhere. Worn with earth's unrest, how sweet In Thy temple fair to meet! There to sing away each sorrow That from life and toil we borrow! 2 With the righteous oft it fareth Here, as if his deeds were ill; Blight fair virtue's flowers impaireth, Weeds of vice do flourish still; Joy and fortune haste away, Friends with friends--how short their stay! Rachel still her children mourneth, And her soul from comfort turneth. 3 But when here devoutly soareth High the temple-anthem sweet, Grief grows calm, no plaint outpoureth-- Hearts with holy rapture beat: Free from earthly clouds the soul Presses toward a higher goal, Takes from hope the comfort given, Speaks e'en now the tongue of heaven. 4 O my soul, thy wing ascending, Yet on Salem's mount shall rest; There where cherub-harps are blending With the singing of the blest; Let thy note of praise and prayer To thy God precede thee there, While e'en yet a care-worn mortal, Still without Thy Father's portal. 5 Days are dawning, days are flying! Hold thou fast the Word of God: "Lamp unto my feet", still crying "Light unto my dreary road!" Joy thou in that Holy Word Which of old on earth was heard, For man's peace and comfort given, Only guide from earth to heaven. 6 Let us, Christians, here that wander, As our fathers in their day, Piously together ponder, Gladly sing and meekly pray; Be the children's voices raised To the God their fathers praised. Let Thy bounty failing never Be on us and all forever. 7 Bless us, Father, and protect us, Be our souls' sure hiding-place, Let Thy wisdom still direct us, Light our darkness with Thy grace! Let Thy countenance on us shine, Fill us all with peace divine. Praise the Father, Son, and Spirit, Praise Him all that life inherit.
