O that I could forever dwell

Author: Andrew Reed Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #109 (1886) Lyrics: 1 O that I could forever dwell Delighted at my Saviour's feet, Behold the form I love so well, And all his tender words repeat! 2 The world shut out from all my soul, And heaven brought in with all its bliss, O, is there aught, from pole to pole, One moment to compare with this? 3 This is the hidden life I prize, A life of penitential love; When most my follies I despise, And raise my highest thoughts above; 4 When all I am I clearly see, And freely own, with deepest shame; When the Redeemer's love to me Kindles within a deathless flame. 5 Thus would I live till nature fail, And all my former sins forsake; Then rise to God within the vail, And of eternal joys partake.

Oh, that I could forever dwell

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #399 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Oh, that I could forever dwell, Delighted at the Saviour’s feet; Behold the form I love so well, And all His tender words repeat! 2 The world shut out from all my soul, And heaven brought in with all its bliss, Oh! is there aught, from pole to pole, One moment to compare with this? 3 This is the hidden life I prize-- A life of penitential love; When most my follies I despise, And raise my highest thoughts above; 4 When all I am I clearly see, And freely own with deepest shame; When the Redeemer's love to me Kindles within a deathless flame. 5 Thus would I live till nature fail, And all my former sins forsake; Then rise to God within the veil, And of eternal joys partake.
