Henry Francis Lyte Heaven Poems
- 1. Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken
Jesus, I my cross have taken, all to leave and follow Thee.
Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shall be.
Perish every fond ambition, all Iâ??ve sought or hoped or known.
Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still mine own.
... - 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. Praise, My Soul, The King Of Heaven
Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven;
To His feet Thy tribute bring!
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Who like me His praise should sing?
... - 5. There Is A Safe And Secret Place
There is a safe and secret place,
Beneath the wings divine,
Reserved for all the heirs of grace;
O be that refuge mine!
...
