THOUGHTS ON REVELATIONS, IV. 1.
I
“Come hither up,”—methinks I hear.My well-beloved say,
“Thou nothing hast from me to fear,
“Rise then, make haste away.”
II
My Saviour, if the voice that callsIs sure and only thine,
Whate'er would hinder or befalls,
Thy will be done, not mine.
III
But O, assure me 'tis thy voice,Repeat it, Lord, again:
'Tis thine, I know it by the joys
That gladdens every vein.
IV
Speak on, dear Lord, I thee intreat;And what doth Jesus say?
Once more he doth the call repeat,
“Arise, and come away.”
V
I come, my God; what is thy will?I join thy spirit's prayer.
“Meet me this day on Zion's Hill.”
My God, I'll meet thee there.
