O that I were as heretofore!
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #418 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O that I were as heretofore!
When warm in my first love;
I only live my God t'adore,
And seek the things above!
2 Upon my head his candle shone,
And lavish of his grace,
With cords of love he drew me on,
And half unveil'd his face.
3 Far, far above all earthly things
Triumphantly I rode;
I soar'd to heaven on eagles' wings,
And found and talk'd with God.
4 Where am I now, from what a height
Of happiness cast down!
The glory swallow'd up in night,
And faded is the crown.
5 O God, thou art my home, my rest,
For which I sigh in pain!
How shall I 'scape into thy breast,
My Eden how regain? Topics: Christian experience Backslider returning

And rode upon the sky.
