Lord, let me not thy courts depart, <br />Nor quit thy mercy-seat, <br />Before I feel thee in my heart, <br />And there the Saviour meet. <br /> <br />Water the seed in weakness sown, <br />And ever more improve: <br />Make me a garden of thine own; <br />May ev'ry flow'r be love! <br /> <br />O send my soul in peace away; <br />For both my Lord hath bought: <br />And let my heart, exhulting, say, <br />I've found the pearl I sought!<br /><br />Augustus Montague Toplady<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lord-let-me-not-thy-courts-depart-2/
