Hymns Supplied Through the Gracious Generosity
of the Cyber Hymnal Website
Words: Robert Grant, in Psalms and Hymns for Public, Private and Social Worship, by H. V. Elliott, 1835.
Music: "Maidstone," Walter Bond Gilbert, 1865
Lord of earth, Thy forming hand,
Well this beauteous frame hath planned,
Woods that wave, and hills that tower,
Ocean rolling in his power;
Yet amidst this scene so fair,
Should I cease thy smile to share,
What were all its joys to me?
Whom have I on earth but Thee?
Lord of heaven, beyond our sight
Shines a world of purer light;
There in love's unclouded reign,
Severed friends shall meet again:
O that world is passing fair!
Yet, if Thou wert absent there,
What were all its joys to me?
Whom have I in heaven but Thee?
Lord of earth and heaven, my breast
Seeks in Thee its only rest;
I was lost; Thy accents mild
Homeward lured Thy wandering child:
O if once Thy smile divine
Ceased upon my soul to shine,
What were earth or heaven to me?
Whom have in each but Thee?
