[An abject slave I long have been]
Nevertheless they shall be his servants, &c.
—xii. 8.
An abject slave I long have been
To Satan, and the world, and sin,
As by my God forsook,
Who would not to my Saviour stoop,
The burden of His cross take up,
Or bear His easy yoke.
To Satan, and the world, and sin,
As by my God forsook,
Who would not to my Saviour stoop,
The burden of His cross take up,
Or bear His easy yoke.
The difference now I know and feel;
Jesus, to serve Thy foes is hell;
But once again forgiven,
O let me find in serving Thee
The glorious, perfect liberty,
The happiness of heaven.
Jesus, to serve Thy foes is hell;
But once again forgiven,
211
The glorious, perfect liberty,
The happiness of heaven.
