Long have I seem'd to serve thee, Lord

Hymnal: A Pocket hymn-book, designed as a constant companion for the pious #CCXXXIX (1790) Lyrics: 1 Long have I seem'd to serve thee, Lord, With unavailing pain; Fasted, and pray'd, and read thy word, And heard it preach'd in vain. 2 Oft did I with th’ assembly join, And near thy altar drew, A form of godliness was mine, The pow'r I never knew. 3 I rested in the outward law, Nor knew its deep design; The length and breadth I never saw, The heighth of love divine. 4 To please thee thus, at length I see, Vainly I hop'd and strove: For what are outward things to thee, Unless they spring from love? 5 I see the perfect law requires Truth in the inward parts; Our full consent, our whole desires, Our undivided hearts. 6 But I of means have made my boast, Of means an idol made! The spirit in the letter lost, The substance in the shade! 7 Where am I now, or what my hope? What can my weakness do? Jesu, to thee my soul looks up: ’Tis thou must make it new.

Long have I seem'd to serve the Lord

Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn Book #HIX (1791) Lyrics: 1 Long have I seem'd to serve the Lord, With unavailing pain; Fasted, and pray'd, and read thy word, And heard it preach'd in vain. 2 Oft did I with the assembly join, And near thy altar drew, A form of godliness was mine, The pow'r I never knew. 3 I rested in the outward law, Nor knew its deep design; The length and breadth I never saw, The heighth of love divine. 4 To please thee thus, at length I see, Vainly I hop'd and strove: For what are outward things to thee, Unless they spring from love? 5 I see the perfect law requires Truth in the inward parts; Our full consent, our whole desires, Our undivided hearts. 6 But I of means have made my boast, Of means an idol made!
