I love to steal awhile away

Author: Mrs. Brown Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 628 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 24:63 Lyrics: 1 I love to steal awhile away From every cumb'ring care; And spend the hours of setting day In humble, grateful prayer. 2 I love in solitude to shed The penitential tear; And all his promises to plead, Where none but God can hear. 3 I love to think on mercies past, And future good implore; And all my cares and sorrows cast On him whom I adore. 4 I love by faith to take a view Of brighter scenes in heaven: The prospect does my strength renew, While here by tempests driven. 5 Thus, when life's toilsome day is o'er, May its departing ray Be calm as this impressive hour, And lead to endless day.

Author: Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 268 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 24:63 Lyrics: 1 Far from the world, O Lord, I flee, From strife and tumult far; From scenes where Satan wages still His most successful war. 2 The calm retreat, the silent shade, With prayer and praise agree; And seem by thy sweet bounty made For those who follow thee. 3 There, if thy Spirit touch the soul, And grace her mean abode, Oh, with what peace, and joy, and love, She communes with her God! 4 Author and guardian of my life, Sweet source of light divine, And all harmonious names in one, My Saviour, thou art mine!
