Through the long vista of the bygone days - A Song of Remembrance (Hannah K. Burlingham/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

A Song of Remembrance.

1. Through the long vista of the bygone days
  with overflowing heart and eyes I gaze;
    and once again a grateful song I raise,
          my God, to thee. PDF - Midi

2. Faint my response to all thy boundless love,
  yet thy compassions drew my heart above;
    and o'er the waste, like yon defenceless dove,
          I flew to thee.

3. Here in mine ark of safety will I bide,
  here, till calamities are past, I hide;
    I shelter at the Saviour's riven side;
          'twas cleft for me.

4. Keep me, my God, that I no longer roam;
  thy holy presence be my constant home;
    and glad thanksgivings, through the vaulted dome,
          shall rise to thee.

5. Direct each faltering note of praise and prayer,
  till, circling wide, it find its centre there;
    the issue, Lord, confiding to thy care,
          my heart goes free.

6. Longer or shorter be the evil day,
  thou art my Rock, my Refuge, and my Stay;
    and I, when time's last sand has ebbed away,
          shall dwell with thee.

Hannah K. Burlingham, Wayside Songs, 1901, 164-165.
