Text:O, could I find, from day to day
Author:Benjamin Cleveland
Tune:NAOMI
Composer:Hans George Naegeli

639. O, could I find, from day to day

1 O, could I find, from day to day,
A nearness to my God,
Then would my hours glide sweet away,
While leaning on his word.

2 Lord, I desire with thee to live
Anew from day to day,
In joys the world can never give,
Nor ever take away.

3 Blest Jesus, come, and rule my heart,
And make me wholly thine,
That I may nevermore depart,
Nor grieve thy love divine.
