When Jesus bade me leave the world
My downward steps retrace;
'Twas thus I answer'd every foe,
And fled to his embrace.
Stay, said the world, and taste awhile
My ev'ry pleasant sweet;
Hinder me not, my soul reply'd,
Because the way is great.
In all my Lord's appointed ways,
My journey I'll pursue:
Hinder me not, ye much lov'd saints,
For I must go with you.
Thro' duty, and thro' trials too,
I go at his command;
Hinder me not, for 1 am bound
To my Immanuel's land.
