Far from the world, O Lord, I flee

Author: William Cowper Appears in 268 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Far from the world, O Lord, I flee, From strife and tumult far; From scenes where Satan wages till 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, O with what peace, and joy, and love, Does she commune with God! 4 Author and Guardian of my life, Sweet Source of light divine, And all harmonious names in one, My Saviour! thou art mine! 5 The thanks I owe thee, and the love, A boundless, endless store, Shall echo through the realms above When time shall be no more.
