Shun, My Heart, the Thought Forever

Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Way of Salvation Invitation to Repentance Lyrics: 1 Shun, my heart, the thought forever As thou hast been cast away, Rest upon God's Word and favor, Never cease to watch and pray. E'en though thou unrighteous art, True and faithful is God's heart; Hast thou death deserved forever? God's appeased, despond thou never! 2 Thou art, as is ev'ry other, Tainted with the bane of sin That the serpent through our father Adam, by the fall, brought in. But if thou God's voice dost hear, With a contrite heart draw near Unto God, He will receive thee, All thy sins He will forgive thee. 3 Thou wilt find in Him a Father Who is patient, kind, and true, He doth love thee as no brother And no other friend can do. E'en our smallest cares He knows, He is touched by all our woes; Well our inmost prayers He heareth, And our saddened hearts He cheerest. 4 Hear His word "As I am living, I the death on none would see, But that every sinner, giving Up his heart would turn to Me. How my heart with rapture burns When a prodigal returns! My own child I love to call him, And no evil shall befall him." 5 Never shepherd's heart so yearneth For the sheep that go astray As God's loving bosom burneth For His erring child alway. How He thirsts, and longs, and yearns For the soul that from Him turns! Couldst thou know His love so tender, Thou wouldst praise unto Him render. 6 Of such wondrous love and favor Open wide the door to me, And Thy goodness, precious Saviour, Let me ever taste and see. Love me, Lord, and let me be Ever nearer drawn to Thee; Let Thy Spirit lead and guide me, In Thy loving bosom hide me. Amen. Used With Tune: FREU DICH SEHR, O MEINE SEELE

Gladly I'll welcome him evermore; O, yes, I'll let him in. Blessed Saviour, abide with me, Cares and trials will lighter be; I am safe if I'm only with thee, O, blessed Lord, come in!
