EN 986 O How the Thought of God Attracts

Ps.48.9

Versi Version 1

1

O how the thought of God attracts

And draws the heart from earth

And sickens it of passing shows

And dissipating mirth!

2

’Tis not enough to save our souls,

To shun th’eternal fires;

The thought of God will rouse the heart

To more sublime desires.

3

God only is the creature’s home,

Though rough and strait the road;

Yet nothing less can satisfy

The love that longs for God.

4

O utter but the Name of God,

Down in your heart of hearts,

And see from the world at once

All tempting light depart!

5

A trusting heart, a yearning eye,

Can win their way above,

If mountains can be moved by faith,

Is there less power in love?
