A VIEW OF SOVEREIGN GRACE




Turn again, my daughters, turn,
Wherefore would you go with me?
0 forbear, forbear to mourn—
Jesus wills it so to be:
“Why,” when God would have us part,
“Weep ye thus and break my heart?”


See—thy sister is gone back
To her gods and people dear;
Weeping soul! a wretch forsake,
Why shouldst thou my sorrows beat?
Turn, and let thy troubles cease,
Go, return, my child, in peace.


O entreat me not to leave
Thee, my faithful guide and friend:
Let me always to thee cleave,
Let me hold thee to the end;
Thy own child in Christ I am,
Follow thee as thou the Lamb.


Never will I cease to mourn,
’Till my Lord thy tears shall dry;
Never back from thee return,
Never from my mother fly;
Do not ask me to depart,
Do not break my bleeding heart.


Where thou goest, I will go,
Thine shall be my soul’s abode;
Thine shall be my weal or woe,
Thine my people and my God;
Where thou diest, there will I
Lay my weary head and die.


There will I my burial have,
(If it be the Saviour’s will:)
Sleeping in a common grave,
’Till the quick’ning trump I feel:
Call'd with thee to leave the tomb,
Summon’d to our happy home.


God do so to me and more,
If from thee my guide I part;
’Till the mortal pang is o'er,
Will I hold thee in my heart:
And when l from earth remove,
Meet thee in the realms above.
