Now from the World Withdrawn

Now from the world with­drawn

For fel­low­ship with Thee;

May each

O Lord

be­fore Thy throne

From earth­ly cares be free.

Possess our ev­ery thought

And teach our minds to pray;

Help us to wor­ship as we ought

And thus con­clude the day.

Our strength may we re­new

And lift our hearts above;

That

while life’s jour­ney we pur­sue

We still may walk in love.

Then

in our lat­ter end

If death shall close our eyes

Thy mer­cy will our souls at­tend

And bear them to the skies.
