Lord Jesus, I long
in Thy presence to live,
From morning to evening
my one world Thou art;
O let not my heart
be contented or rest
When loving or seeking
what with Thee doth part.
Each time when I dream
of the goodness of life,
I pray Thee, dear Lord,
that Thou in it may be;
O do not allow me
to choose by myself,
Nor seek any pleasure
that’s other than Thee.
Each time, Lord, when reading
in Thy holy Word,
I pray that Thy glory
may shine on each line,
That clearly I’ll see
what a Savior I have
And how great salvation
that Thou hast made mine.
Each time when of
heavenly blessings I think,
O let my heart long
to be raptured to Thee;
My only hope here is
Thy coming again,
My only joy there, Lord,
Thy presence will be.
