Lord, on earth I dwell sad-hearted
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Neumann Hymnal: Chorale Book for England, The #66 (1863) Lyrics:
Lord, on earth I dwell sad-hearted,
Here I oft must mourn and sigh;
Wherefore hast Thou then departed,
Why ascendest Thou on high?
Take me, take me hence with Thee,
Or abide, Lord, still in me;
Let Thy love and gifts be left,
That I be not all bereft.
Leave Thy heart still inly near me,
Take mine hence where Thou art gone,
Open heaven to me, and hear me
When to Thee I cry alone;
When I cannot pray, oh plead
With Thy Father in my stead;
Seated now at God's right hand,
Help us here, Thy faithful band.
Worldly joys I cast behind me,
Let me choose the better part,
And though mortal chains yet bind me,
Heavenly be my thoughts and heart;
That my time through faith may be
Order'd for eternity;
Till we rise, all perils oer,
Whither Thou hast gone before.
Then return, the promise keeping
That was made to us of old;
Raise the members that are sleeping
Gnaw'd of death beneath the mould.
Judge the evil world that deems
Thy sure words but empty dreams;
And for all our sorrows past
Let us know Thy joy at last.
