I love to steal awhile away From ev'ry cumb'ring care, And spend the hours of setting day In humble grateful pray'r. Chorus: I want to go, I want to go, I want to go there, too; I want to go where Jesus is, I want to go there too. I love in solitude to shed The penitential tear; And all His promises to plead, Where none but God can hear. (Chorus) I love to think on mercies past, And future good implore; And all my cares and sorrows cast On Him whom I adore. (Chorus)
