BEFORE A JOURNEY.
Forth at Thy call, O Lord, I go,
Thy counsel to fulfil:
'Tis all my business here below,
Father, to do Thy will.
Thy counsel to fulfil:
'Tis all my business here below,
Father, to do Thy will.
303
To do Thy will, while here I make
My short, unfix'd abode,
An everlasting home I seek,
A city built by God.
My short, unfix'd abode,
An everlasting home I seek,
A city built by God.
O, when shall I my Canaan gain,
The land of promised ease,
And leave this world of sin and pain,
This howling wilderness!
The land of promised ease,
And leave this world of sin and pain,
This howling wilderness!
Come to my help, come quickly, Lord,
For whom alone I sigh;
O, let me hear the gracious word,
And get me up, and die!
For whom alone I sigh;
O, let me hear the gracious word,
And get me up, and die!
