[Forbid it, Lord, that I should be]
He went away sorrowful.
—xix. 22.
Forbid it, Lord, that I should be
Grieved to sell all and follow Thee:
Ah, never leave me to depart,
But keep possession of my heart:
Left to myself, too well I know,
That I away from Thee shall go,
Withhold my heart so dearly bought,
And sell my soul and God for nought.
