Mount of thy redeeming love.

Hither by thy help I'm come;
And I hope, by thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.

Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed his precious blood.

Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to thee;
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it;
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart; oh, take and seal it;
Seal it for thy courts above. Languages: English Tune Title: NETTLETON

Idly waste my golden day,
But, each precious hour redeeming,
Upward, upward, press my way!

Wither, and rend its tender form.
