My Roving Heart

Let worldly minds the world pursue It has no charms for me Once I admired it's trifles, too But grace has set me free

It's pleasure now no longer please No more content afford Far from my heart be the joys like these Now I have seen the Lord

As by the light of opening day The stars are all concealed So earthly pleasures fade away When Jesus is revealed

Creatures no more divide my choice; I bid them all depart His name, His love, His gracious voice Have fixed my roving heart

Now Lord I will be Thine alone And wholly live to Thee But I may hope that Your will own A worthless soul like me

Yes tho of sinners I am the worst I cannot doubt thy will For if Thou had not loved me first I had refused thee still

Creatures no more divide my choice; I bid them all depart His name, His love, His gracious voice Have fixed my roving heart
