[Thou canst not, Lord, a beggar spurn]

Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return, &c. —i. 16.

Thou canst not, Lord, a beggar spurn
That courts Thy company,
Wherefore I never will return
From following after Thee;

Resolved, where'er Thou goest, I go,
In all Thy footsteps tread,
And glad like Thee to want below
A place to lay my head.
