Can rocks or mountains save?

That cursed throne must fall;

Fly, for we hate you all. Languages: English

Whose depth unfathomed, no man knows,
I see from far Thy beauteous light,

My heart is pained, nor can it be
At rest, till it finds rest in Thee.
2 Thy secret voice invites me still
The sweetness of Thy yoke to prove;
And fain I would; but though my will
Seems fixed, yet wide my passions rove;
Yet hindrances strew all the way;
I am at Thee, yet from Thee stray.
3 'Tis mercy all, that Thou hast brought
My mind to seek her peace in Thee;
Yet while I seek, but find Thee not,
No peace my wandering soul shall see;
O when shall all my wanderings end,
And all my steps to Thee-ward tend?
4 Is there a thing beneath the sun
That strives with Thee my heart to share?
Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone,
The Lord of every motion there;
Then shall my heart from earth be free,
When it hath found repose in Thee.

May dwell, but Thy pure love alone:
O may Thy love possess me whole,
My joy, my treasure, and my crown:
Strange flames far from my heart remove;
My every act, word, thought, be love!
3 O Love, how cheering is Thy ray;
All pain before Thy presence flies,
Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away,
Where'er Thy healing beams arise;
O Jesus, nothing may I see,
Nothing desire, or seek but Thee!
4 Unwearied may I this pursue,
Dauntless to the high prize aspire;
Hourly within my soul renew
This holy flame, this heavenly fire;
And day and night be all my care
To guard the sacred treasure there. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FINBAR

Hjælp, at det gaar af Hjertens Grund!
2 Helliget vorde, Gud, dit Navn,

Fri os og fra den evig Død,
Og trøst os i vor sidste Nød,

Dertil styrk Troen, Herre Krist!
At ingen Tvil vi derom bær,

Alt paa dit Ord, i Navnet dit,

5 Saa skal mit Abba lifligt klinge,
Naar du har Hjertets Harpe stemt,
Saa skal jeg Gud mit Offer bringe,
Som ham er kjært, og ei bli'r glemt,
Naar du har samlet Hu og Sind,
Og viet dig dit Tempel ind.
6 Ved dig i Jesu Navn jeg vover
At bære frem til Gud min Bøn;
Min Fader, giv mig, hvad du lover
At skjænke mig udi din Søn!
Og lad det blive mig tilkjendt,
Hvad Jesus haver mig fortjent! Languages: Norwegian

3 It cost him cries and tears
To bring us near to God;

And humbly view the living stream
Flow from his breaking heart.
