In vain my roving thoughts would find

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #224 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 In vain my roving thoughts would find A portion worthy of the mind: On earth my soul can never rest, For earth can never make me blest. 2 Can lasting happiness be found, Where seasons roll their hasty round, And days and hours with rapid flight Sweep cares and pleasures out of sight? 3 Arise, my thoughts! my heart arise! Leave this vain world, and seek the skies: There joys for everyone shall last, When seasons, days, and hours are past. 4 Thy mercy, Lord, to me impart: O raise my thoughtless, wand'ring, heart To pleasures perfect and sublime, Unmeasur'd by the wings of time. 5 Let those bright worlds of endless joy My thoughts, my hopes, my cares employ. No more, ye restless passions, roam: God is my bliss, and heav'n my home. Topics: Supplication for the Divine Favour and Assistance Languages: English
