Since First Thy Word. (Air.--Nicholas Freeman.)
By Thomas Moore
Since first Thy Word awaked my heart, Like new life dawning o'er me, Where'er I turn mine eyes, Thou art, All light and love before me. Naught else I feel, or hear or see-- All bonds of earth I sever-- Thee, O God, and only Thee I live for, now and ever. Like him whose fetters dropt away When light shone o'er his prison,[1] My spirit, touched by Mercy's ray, Hath from her chains arisen. And shall a soul Thou bidst be free, Return to bondage?--never! Thee, O God, and only Thee I live for, now and ever.
