Henry Francis Lyte Heart Poems

  • 1.
    Far from my heavenly home,
    Far from my Fatherâ??s breast,
    Fainting I cry, blest Spirit, come
    And speed me to my rest.
    ...
  • 2.
    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.
    ...
  • 3.
    O that the Lordâ??s salvation
    Were out of Zion come,
    To heal His ancient nation,
    To lead His outcasts home!
    ...
  • 4.
    Pleasant are Thy courts above,
    In the land of light and love;
    Pleasant are Thy courts below
    In this land of sin and woe;
    ...
  • 5.
    Abide with us: for it is towards evening, and the day is far spent. -- Luke xxiv.29


    Abide with me! Fast falls the Eventide;
    ...
  • 6.
    I meet thy pensive, moonlight face;
    Thy thrilling voice I hear;
    And former hours and scenes retrace,
    Too fleeting, and too dear!
    ...
  • 7.
    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?
    ...
  • 8.
    My God, my King, Thy praise I sing,
    My heart is all Thine own;
    My highest powers, my choicest hours,
    I yield to Thee alone.
    ...
  • 9.
    When at Thy footstool, Lord, I bend,
    And plead with Thee for mercy there,
    Think of the sinnerâ??s dying Friend,
    And for His sake receive my prayer.
    ...
