Christ My Song - 942
O Lord, my heart aspires - Aspirations
(James George Deck/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
Aspirations.
1. O Lord, my heart aspires
to walk with thee;
the first of its desires
thy face to see:
by day, by night,
its one delight,
to have thee near to me. PDF - Midi
2. But Lord, when I retrace,
at close of day,
how far I've seen thy face, –
or gone astray;
I mourn, I sigh,
when I descry
how little I obey.
3. O Lord, supply thy grace;
teach me to set
thyself before my face,
and ne'er forget
that thou art mine,
and I am thine,
whose blood has paid my debt.
James George Deck, Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1906, 8-9.
