Words: Anne Steele, from "Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional," 1760. Music and Variant Text: Nathan Poole 2013.
lyrics
Thou only sovereign of my heart,
My refuge, my almighty friend,
And can my soul from thee depart,
On whom alone my hopes depend?
Whither, ah, whither shall I go
A wretched wanderer from my lord?
Could this dark world of sin and woe
One glimpse of happiness afford?
O’ peace divine, is at thy feet, at thy feet
Here safety dwells, here safety dwells at thy feet
O’ at thy feet
Eternal life thy words impart;
On these my fainting spirit lives;
Here sweeter comforts cheer my heart,
Than all the round of nature gives.
Let earths alluring joys combine,
While thou art near in vain they call;
One smile, one blissful smile of thine,
My gracious lord, outweighs them all.
refrain
Low at thy feet my soul would lie
Here safety dwells and peace divine;
Still let me live beneath thine eye
For life, eternal life is thine.
