Here I Sit

Upon this armchair with my Lord,

Here I can muse and pray;

Let others go and see the world,

Here I would rather stay.

Here I would rather sit and think

Of flowers and springtime days;

I'd rather of such fancies drink

Than trudge the winding ways.

But when I sit and hold His hand,

There's no place I cannot be-

I can go with Him to any land,

And all its wonders see!

But I would rather stay right here,

And not go forth today;

I'd rather sit and listen-

I'd rather watch and pray.

So let me love my Saviour well,

And in my choice be wise;

And let me His affections tell,

And drink deep of His eyes.
