Far from the world, O Lord, I flee,
Too many, Lord, abuse Thy grace,
From strife and tumult far;
In this licentious day;
From scenes where Satan wages still
And while they boast they see Thy face,
His most successful war.
They turn their own away.


The calm retreat, the silent shade,
Thy Book displays a gracious light
With prayer and praise agree;
That can the blind restore;
And seem by Thy sweet bounty made
But these are dazzled by the sight,
For those who follow Thee.
And blinded still the more.


There, if Thy Spirit touch the soul,
The pardon, such presume upon,
And grace her mean abode,
They do not beg, but steal;
O with what peace, and joy, and love,
And when they plead it at Thy throne,
She communes with her God!
Oh! where’s the Spirit’s seal?


There, like the nightingale, she pours
Was it for this, ye lawless tribe,
Her solitary lays;
The dear Redeemer bled?
Nor asks a witness of her song,
Is this the grace the saints imbibe
Nor thirsts for human praise.
From Christ the living Head?


Author and Guardian of my life,
Ah, Lord, we know Thy chosen few
Sweet Source of light divine,
Are fed with heavenly fare;
And, all harmonious names in one,
But these, the wretched husks they chew
My Saviour,--Thou art mine!
Proclaim them what they are.


What thanks I owe Thee, and what love,
The liberty our hearts implore
A boundless, endless store,
Is not to live in sin;
Shall echo through the realms above
But still to wait at wisdom’s door,
When time shall be no more!
Till mercy calls us in.}}

Too many, Lord, abuse Thy grace,
In this licentious day;
And while they boast they see Thy face,
They turn their own away.

Thy Book displays a gracious light
That can the blind restore;
But these are dazzled by the sight,
And blinded still the more.

The pardon, such presume upon,
They do not beg, but steal;
And when they plead it at Thy throne,
Oh! where’s the Spirit’s seal?

Was it for this, ye lawless tribe,
The dear Redeemer bled?
Is this the grace the saints imbibe
From Christ the living Head?

Ah, Lord, we know Thy chosen few
Are fed with heavenly fare;
But these, the wretched husks they chew
Proclaim them what they are.

The liberty our hearts implore
Is not to live in sin;
But still to wait at wisdom’s door,
Till mercy calls us in.
