1. Alone in some secure retreat, The sky o'ershadows me; All nature smiles so soft and sweet, I'm thinking, Lord, of Thee. * Refrain: Thinking of Thee, O Lord, of Thee, Musing on things above; Till every chord within my soul Is tuned with heav'nly love. 2. I see Thee in the lonely mount In silent prayer for me; Thy tears all night a flowing fount, I'm thinking, Lord, of Thee. 3. I hear Thy deep and mournful sigh In sad Gethsemane; I see Thee on the reeking cross, I'm thinking, Lord, of Thee. 4. Awaking from the silent tomb, Thy risen form I see; Thy saints awaiting Thee to come, Are thinking, Lord, of Thee.
