[Can we follow Christ in vain?]
Great multitudes followed Him, and He healed, &c.
—xii. 15.
Can we follow Christ in vain?
Can we follow Christ at all,
Him unless His love constrain
Us after Himself to call?
But the Friend of human race
Shows Himself our Saviour still,
Draws us by His powerful grace,
Draws whom He designs to heal.

Jesus truly doth forgive
Every weak distemper'd soul
Who to their Physician cleave,
Makes and keeps His patients whole:
But if Him we will forsake,
If He cease the balm to' apply,
We into our sins fall back,
Lose His love, despair, and die.
