46*. Have I an Object, Lord, Below

6-8s.
by G.W. Frazer
1
Have I an object, Lord, below
 
Which would divide my heart with Thee;
 
Which would divert its even flow
 
In answer to Thy constancy?
 
Oh teach me quickly to return,
 
And cause my heart afresh to burn.
2
Have I a hope, however dear,
 
Which would defer Thy coming, Lord!
 
Which would detain my spirit here
 
(Where naught can lasting joy afford)?
 
From it, my Savior, set me free,
 
To look, and long, and wait for Thee.
3
Be Thou the object bright and fair
 
To fill and satisfy the heart;
 
My hope to meet Thee in the air,
 
And nevermore from Thee to part:
 
That I may undistracted be
 
To follow, serve and wait for Thee.
“For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps.” (1 Peter 2:21)
“How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” (Hebrews 9:14)
“Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.” (Hebrews 12:28)
