Amidst a world of hopes and fears

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #136 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Amidst a world of hopes and fears, A world of cares, and toils, and tears, Where foes alarm, and dangers threat, And pleasures kill, and glories cheat: 2 Send down, O Lord! a heavenly ray, To guide me in the doubtful way; And o'er me hold thy shield of pow'r, To guard me in the dang'rous hour. 3 Teach me the flatt'ring paths to shun, In which the thoughtless many run, Who for a shade the substance miss, And grasp their ruin in their bliss. 4 May never pleasure, wealth, or pride, Allure my wand'ring soul aside; But through this maze of mortal ill, Safe lead me to thy heav'nly hill. 5 There glories shine, and pleasures roll, That charm, delight, transport the soul; And every panting wish shall be Possess'd of boundless bliss in thee.
