Is not our life with hourly mercies crowned? Does not Thine arm encircle us around? 3 Alas! unworthy of Thy boundless love, Too oft with careless feet from Thee we rove; But now encouraged by Thy voice, we come, Returning sinners, to a Father's home. Amen. 4 O by that name in which all fullness dwells, O by that love which ev'ry love excels, O by that blood so freely shed for sin, Open blest Mercy's gate, and take us in. Amen.

How tedious and tasteless the hours

Author: John Newton Appears in 648 hymnals Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 How tedious and tasteless the hours When Jesus no longer I see! Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flowers, Have all lost their sweetness to me; The midsummer sun shines but dim, The fields strive in vain to look gay; But when I am happy in him, December's as pleasant as May. 2 His name yields the richest perfume, And sweeter than music his voice; His presence disperses my gloom, And makes all within me rejoice: I should, were he always thus nigh, Have nothing to wish or to fear; No mortal so happy as I, My summer would last all the year. 3 My Lord, if indeed I am thine, If thou art my Sun and my Song, Say, why do I languish and pine? And why are my winters so long? O drive these dark clouds from my sky, Thy soul-cheering presence restore; Or take me to thee up on high, Where winter and clouds are no more.
