Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBCB DEDEFGFG HIHJKLKL

People of the living GodA
I have sought the world aroundB
Paths of sin and sorrow trodA
Peace and comfort nowhere foundB
Now to you my spirit turnsC
Turns a fugitive unblestB
Brethren where your altar burnsC
Oh receive me into restB
-
Lonely I no longer roamD
Like the cloud the wind the waveE
Where you dwell shall be my homeD
Where you die shall be my graveE
Mine the God Whom you adoreF
Your Redeemer shall be mineG
Earth can fill my soul no moreF
Every idol I resignG
-
Tell me not of gain and lossH
Ease enjoyment pomp and pow rI
Welcome poverty and crossH
Shame reproach affliction s hourJ
Follow Me I know Thy voiceK
Jesus Lord Thy steps I seeL
Now I take Thy yoke by choiceK
Light Thy burden now to meL
