Indelible Grace Hymnbook

In Vain My Roving Heart

Text:

Vs. 1 In vain my roving thoughts would find / A portion worthy of the mind
On earth my soul can never rest / For earth can never make me blest

Vs. 2 Can lasting happiness be found / Where seasons roll their hasty round
And days and hours with rapid flight / Sweep cares and pleasures out of sight

Bridge: Come, Lord, thy powerful grace impart / Thy grace can raise my wandering heart
To pleasure perfect and sublime / Unmeasured by the wings of time

Vs. 3 Let those bright worlds of endless joy /My thoughts, my hopes, my cares employ
No more, ye restless passions, roam / God is my bliss and heaven my home (Bridge)

End: No more, ye restless passions, roam / God is my bliss and heaven my home
