Author: Charles E. Orr Hymnal: Timeless Truths #35 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: Alone in some secure retreat Refrain First Line: Thinking of Thee, O Lord, of Thee Lyrics: 1 Alone in some secure retreat,
The sky o’ershadows me;
All nature smiles so soft and sweet,
I’m thinking, Lord, of Thee.
Refrain:
Thinking of Thee, O Lord, of Thee,
Musing on things above;
Till every chord within my soul
Is tuned with heav’nly love.
2 I see Thee in the lonely mount
In silent prayer for me;
Thy tears all night a flowing fount,
I’m thinking, Lord, of Thee. [Refrain]
3 I hear Thy deep and mournful sigh
In sad Gethsemane;
I see Thee on the reeking cross,
I’m thinking, Lord, of Thee. [Refrain]
4 Awaking from the silent tomb,
Thy risen form I see;
Thy saints awaiting Thee to come,
Are thinking, Lord, of Thee. [Refrain] Topics: Meditation Scripture: Psalm 104:34 Tune Title: [Alone in some secure retreat]
Thinking, Lord, of Thee
