EN 5797 When the Lord of Love Was Here

1John.4.19

Versi Version 1

1

When the Lord of Love was here,

Happy hearts to Him were dear,

Though His heart was sad;

Worn and lonesome for our sake,

Yet he turned aside to make

All the weary glad.

2

Meek and lowly were His ways,

From His loving grew His praise,

From His giving, prayer;

All the outcast thronged to hear,

All the sorrowful drew near

To enjoy His care.

3

When he walked the fields, He drew

From the flowers and birds and dew

Parables of God;

For within His heart of love

All the soul of man did move,

God had His abode.

4

Lord, be ours Thy power to keep

In the very heart of grief,

And in trial, love;

In our meekness to be wise,

And through sorrows to arise

To our God above.

5

Fill us with Thy deep desire

All the sinful to inspire

With the Father’s life;

Free us from the cares that press

On the heart of worldliness

From the fret and strife.

6

And, when in the fields and woods

Were are filled with Nature’s moods,

May the grace be given

With Thy faithful heart to say,

“All I see and feel today

Is my Father’s Heaven.”
