Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9261 Meter: 7.7.7.7 First Line: As the sun’s enlivening eye Lyrics: 1 As the sun’s enlivening eye
Shines on every place the same;
So the Lord is always nigh
To the souls that love His name.
2 When they move at duty’s call,
He is with them by the way;
He is ever with them all,
Those who go, and those who stay.
3 From His holy mercy-seat
Nothing can their souls confine;
Still in spirit they may meet,
And in sweet communion join.
4 For a season called to part,
Let us then ourselves commend
To the gracious eye and heart,
Of our ever-present Friend.
5 Jesus, hear our humble prayer!
Tender shepherd of Thy sheep!
Let Thy mercy and Thy care
All our souls in safety keep.
6 In Thy strength may we be strong,
Sweeten every cross and pain;
Give us, if we live, ere long
Here to meet in peace again.
7 Then, if Thou Thy help afford,
Ebenezers shall be reared;
And our souls shall praise the Lord
Who our poor petitions heard Languages: English Tune Title: SOLITUDE
