Hymn 69<br>
[[6-8's]]<br>
1. When quiet in my house I sit,<br>
Thy books be my companion still;<br>
My joy thy sayings to repeat,<br>
Talk o'er the records of thy will,<br>
And search the oracles divine,<br>
Till every heart-felt word be mine.

2. O may the gracious word divine<br>
Subject of all my converse be;<br>
So will the Lord his follower join,<br>
And walk and talk himself with me;<br>
So shall my heart his presence prove,<br>
And burn with everlasting love.

3. Oft as I lay me down to rest,<br>
O may the reconciling word<br>
Sweetly compose my weary breast;<br>
While, on the bosom of my Lord,<br>
I sink in blissful dreams away,<br>
And visions of eternal day.

4. Rising to sing my Saviour's praise,<br>
Thee may I publish all day long;<br>
And let thy precious word of grace<br>
Flow from my heart, and fill my tongue;<br>
Fill all my life with purest love,<br>
And join me to the church above.
