I love to steal awhile away
From ev’ry cumb’ring care,
And spend the hours of setting day
In humble grateful pray’r.
Chorus: I want to go there, too;
I want to go where Jesus is,
I want to go there too.
I love in solitude to shed
The penitential tear;
And all His promises to plead,
Where none but God can hear.
(Chorus)
I love to think on mercies past,
And future good implore;
And all my cares and sorrows cast
On Him whom I adore.
(Chorus)
