Return, My Roving Heart, Return

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15872 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Return, my roving heart, return, And chase these shadowy forms no more; Seek out some solitude to mourn, And thy forsaken God implore. 2 Wisdom and pleasure dwell at home; Retired and silent, seek them there: True conquest is ourselves t’o’ercome, True strength to break the tempter’s snare. 3 And Thou, my God, whose piercing eye Distinct surveys each deep recess, In these abstracted hours draw nigh, And with Thy presence fill the place. 4 Thro’ all the mazes of my heart, My search let heav’nly wisdom guide, And still its radiant beams impart, Till all be searched, and purified. 5 Then with the visits of Thy love, Vouchsafe my inmost soul to cheer; Till every grace shall join to prove That God hath fixed His dwelling there.

Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #573 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Return, my roving heart, return, And life's vain shadows chase no more; Seek out some solitude to mourn, And thy forsaken God implore. 2 O thou great God! whose piercing eye Distinctly marks each deep retreat, In these sequestered hours draw nigh, And let me here thy presence meet. 3 Through all the windings of my heart, My search let heavenly wisdom guide; And still its beams unerring dart, Till all be known and purified. 4 Then let the visits of thy love My inmost soul be made to share, Till every grace combine to prove That God has fixed his dwelling there.
