I Love To Steal Awhile away
I love to
steal awhile away
From every
cumbering care ,
And spend the
hours of setting day
In humble
,grateful prayer .
I love in
solitude to shed
The
penitential tear ,
And all his
promises to plead ,
Where none but
God can hear .
I love to
think on mercies past ,
And all my
cares and sorrows cast
On him whom I
adore .
I love by
faith to take a view
Of brighter
scenes in heaven ;
The prospect
doth my strength renew ,
While here by
tempest driven
Thus ,when
life’s toilsome day is o’ver ,
May its
departing ray
Be calm as
this impressive hour ,
And lead to
endless day .
