1. O Could I find, from day to day, A nearness to my God; Then should my hours glide sweet away, And live upon thy word. 2. Lord, I desire with thee to live Anew, from day to day, In joys the world can never give, Nor ever take away. 3. O Jesus, come and rule my heart, And make me wholly thine; And never, never more depart, But be forever mine. 4. Thus, till my last expiring breath, Thy goodness I'd adore; And when my flesh dissolves in death, My soul shall love thee more. 5. Through boundless grace I then shall spend An everlasting day, In the embraces of my Friend, Who took my guilt away. 6. That worthy name shall have the praise, To whom all praise is due; While every ransomed soul shall gaze On scenes forever new.
