My God! permit me not to be

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #403 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Communion With God Lyrics: 1 My God! permit me not to be A stranger to myself and Thee; Amidst a thousand thoughts I rove, Forgetful of my highest love. 2 Why should my passions mix with earth, And thus debase my heavenly birth? Why should I cleave to things below, And let my God, my Father, go? 3 Call me away from flesh and sense; Thy gracious word can draw me thence; I would obey the voice divine, And all inferior joys resign. 4 Be earth, with all her cares, withdrawn; Let noise and vanity be gone; In secret silence of the mind, My heaven, and there my God, I find.
