Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCCXXII (1790) First Line: O what shall I do to retrieve Lyrics: 1 O what shall I do to retrieve, The love for a season bestowe': 'Tis better to die than to live Exil'd from the presence of GOD: With sorrow distracted and doubt, With palpable horror opprest, The city I wander about, And seek my repose in his breast. 2 Ye watchmen of Israel, declare If ye my beloved have seen, And point to that heav'nly fair, Surpassing the children of men: My Lover and LORD from above, Who only can quiet my pain, Whom only I languish to love, O where shall I find him again? 3 The joy and desire of mine eyes, The end of my sorrow and woe; My hope, and my heav'nly prize, My height of ambition below: Once more if he shew me his face, He never again shall depart, Detain'd in my closest embrace, Conceal'd in the depth of my heart.
