Lord, must thy gospel fly away?
And all thy mercies be removed?
Are we to sin become a prey?
And all our talents misimproved?
O must we bid our God adieu?
And must the gospel take its flight?
O, shall our children never view
The beamings of that heavenly light?
Forbid it, Lord; with arms of faith
We'll hold thee fast, and thou shalt stay;
We'll cry, while we have life or breath,
Our God, do not depart away!
If broken hearts and weeping eyes
Can find acceptance at thy throne;
Lo, here they are; this sacrifice
Thou wilt accept through Christ thy Son.
