The enjoyment of Christ; or delight in worship

Hymnal: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in Three Books #II.XV (1793) First Line: Far from my thoughts, vain world, be gone Lyrics: 1 Far from my thoughts vain world be gone, Let my religious hours alone; Fain would my eyes my Saviour see; I wait a visit, Lord, from thee. 2 My heart grows warm with holy fire, And kindles with a pure desire: Come, my dear Jesus, from above, And feed my soul with heav'nly love. 3 [The trees of life immortal stand In fragrant rows at thy right hand, And in sweet murmurs by their side Rivers of bliss perpetual glide. 4 Haste then but with a smiling face, And spread the table of thy grace; Bring down a taste of truth divine And cheer my heart with sacred wine.] 5 Bless'd Jesus, what delicious fare! How sweet thy entertainments are! Never did angels taste above Redeeming grace and dying love. 6 Hail great Immanuel, all divine! In thee thy Father’s glories shine; Thou brightest, sweetest, fairest one, That eyes have seen, or angels known. Languages: English
