Hymn 247 – WHEN in Zion they tarry still | C&S English Hymnary

1. WHEN in Zion they tarry still Oh multitude of host I contemplate the Saviour saith Shall thou me too forsake. 2. I and this sort of feeble heart Unless me Thou uphold Oft of my will I may decline Like them I thus shall be. 3. Thine is the strength and this I know Wretched of earth to save Unto whom else will hence I go If Thou I Will reject. 4. I know and re-assuringly Thou and Thou art the Christ Thou art the custodian of life Purchaseth by Thine blood. 5. Thine Holy voice offers me rest And thus dismiss my fears Thine love, joy shall offer my soul And that’s enough for me. 6. Oh what a pain this query brought Wilt thou from me depart Oh Lord with all my trust in Thee I replied to Thee "nay.“ AMEN
