Henry Francis Lyte Earth Poems
- 1. Pleasant Are Thy Courts Above
Pleasant are Thy courts above,
In the land of light and love;
Pleasant are Thy courts below
In this land of sin and woe;
... - 2. Praise The Lord, God's Glories Show
Praise the Lord, Godâ??s glories show, Alleluia!
Saints within Godâ??s courts below, Alleluia!
Angels round the throne above, Alleluia!
All that see and share Godâ??s love, Alleluia!
... - 3. Abide With Me
Abide with us: for it is towards evening, and the day is far spent. -- Luke xxiv.29
Abide with me! Fast falls the Eventide;
... - 4. A Lost Love
I meet thy pensive, moonlight face;
Thy thrilling voice I hear;
And former hours and scenes retrace,
Too fleeting, and too dear!
... - 5. Declining Days
Why do I sigh to find
Life's evening shadows gathering round my way?
The keen eye dimming, and the buoyant mind
Unhinging day by day?
... - 6. Praise For Thee, Lord, In Zion Waits
Praise for Thee, Lord, in Zion waits;
Prayer shall besiege Thy temple gates;
All flesh shall to Thy throne repair,
And find through Christ salvation there.
... - 7. God Of Mercy, God Of Grace
God of mercy, God of grace,
Show the brightness of Thy face:
Shine upon us, Saviour, shine,
Fill Thy church with light Divine;
...
