Author: George Washington Doane Hymnal: Church Book #227 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, should we leave Thy hallowed feet,
To whom should we repair?
Where else such holy comforts meet,
As spring eternal there?
2 Earth has no fount of true delight,
No pure perennial stream;
And sorrow's storm, and death's long night,
Obscure life's brightest beam.
3 Unmingled joys 'tis Thine to give,
And undecaying peace:
For Thou canst teach us so to live,
That life shall never cease.
4 Thou only canst the cheering words
Of endless life supply;
Anointed of the Lord of lords,
The Son of God most high! Topics: Communion with Christ; Advent, Third Sunday; Sunday after Christmas; Sundays in Lent; Lent, Fourth Sunday; Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: DU GOTT BIST ÜBER ALLEN HERR
