Hymnal: Laudes Domini #37 (1890) Topics: Prayer and Invocation First Line: Far from the world, O Lord, I flee Lyrics: 1 Far from the world, O Lord, I flee,
From strife and tumult far;
From scenes where Satan wages Still
His most successful war.
2 The calm retreat, the silent shade,
With prayer and praise agree;
And seem by thy great bounty made
For those who follow thee.
3 There, if thy Spirit touch the soul,
And grace her mean abode;
Oh! with what peace, and joy, and love,
She then communes with God.
