115 - When the Lord of Love Was Here

MIDI	MP3	Partition

1
When the Lord of love was here,
Happy hearts to Him were dear,
Though His heart was sad;
Worn and lonely for our sake,
Yet he turned aside to make
All the weary glad.

2
Meek and lowly were His ways,
From His loving grew His praise,
From His giving, prayer;
All the outcast thronged to hear,
All the sorrowful drew near
To enjoy His care.

3
When he walked the fields, He drew
From the flowers and birds and dew,
Parables of God;
For within His heart of love
All the soul of man did move,
God had His abode.

4
Lord, be ours Thy power to keep
In the very heart of grief,
And in trial, love.
In our meekness to be wise,
And through sorrows to arise
To' our God above.

5
Fill us with Thy deep desire
All the sinful to inspire,
With the Father’s life;
Free us from the cares that press
On the heart of worldliness
From the fret and strife.
