I Send the Joys of Earth Away (EN 5278)

EN 5278 I Send the Joys of Earth Away

Col.3.2

Versi Version 1

1

I send the joys of earth away;

Away, ye tempters of the mind,

False as the smooth, deceitful sea,

And empty as the whistling wind.

2

Your streams were floating me along

Down the gulf of dark despair;

And while I listened to your song,

Your streams had e’en conveyed me there.

3

Lord, I adore Thy matchless grace,

That warned me of that dark abyss,

That drew me from those treacherous seas,

And bade me seek superior bliss.

4

Now to the shining realms above

I stretch my hands and glance my eyes;

O for the pinions of a dove,

To bear me to the upper skies.
