MHB 876 – OMNIPRESENT God, whose aid

Methodist-Hymns-876

1:  OMNIPRESENT God, whose aid
No one ever asked in vain,
Be this night about my bed,
Every evil thought restrain;
Lay thy hand upon my soul,
God of my unguarded hours;
All my enemies control,
Hell, and earth, and nature’s powers.

2:  Loose me from the chains of sense,
Set me from the body free,
Draw with stronger influence
My unfettered soul to thee;
In me, Lord, Thyself reveal,
Fill me with a sweet surprise:
Let me thee when waking feel,
Let me in thy image rise.

3:  Let me of thy life partake,
Thy own holiness impart,
O that I might sweetly wake
With my Saviour in my heart!
O that I might know thee mine!
O that I might thee receive!
Only live the life divine,
Only to thy glory live!

4:  Or if thou my soul require
Ere I see the morning light,
Grant me, Lord, my heart’s desire,
Perfect me in love to-night;
Finish thy great work of love,
Cut it short in righteousness,
Fit me for the realms above,
Change, and bid me die in peace.
t Amen.
