I come to thee once more, my God
No longer will I roam
For I have sought the wide world through
And never found a home.

2. Though bright and many are the spots
Where I have built a nest,
Yet in the brightest still I pined
For more abiding rest.
3. Riches could bring me joy and power
And they were fair to see
Yet gold was but a sorry god
To serve instead of thee.
4. Then honour and the world’s good word
Appeared a nobler faith
Yet could I rest on bliss that hung
And trembled on a breath.
5. The pleasure of the passing hour
My spirit next could wile
But soon, full soon, my heart fell sick
Of pleasure’s weary smile.
6. More selfish grown, I worshipped health,
The flush of manhood’s power
But then it came and went so quick,
It was but for an hour.
7. And thus a not unkindly world
Hath done its best for me
Yet I have found, O God no rest,
No harbour short of thee.
8. For thou hast made this wondrous soul
All for thyself alone
Ah! Send thy sweet transforming grace
To make it more thine own.
