[“Will ye also go away?”]

“Will ye also go Away.” John vi. 67.

1

“Will ye also go away?”
Did, on earth, the Saviour say—
To his followers, men of God,
Who the path to glory trod?
Who his wonders saw, and heard,
Day by day, his gracious word?
How should we the question hear!
How, ourselves, distrust and fear!

2

Lord! our only hope thou art;
Let us not from thee depart!
We have treacherous foes within;
We have natures prone to sin;
Prone to grovel, not ascend;
Prone to leave our highest friend!
Set us from our bondage free!
Give us hearts to cleave to thee!

3

Follies oft our hearts beguile;
We pursue the creature's smile;

310

Wasting on the world that love
Which should soar to things above;
Heavenly Father! Good and Wise,
Help our sluggish souls to rise!
While with quicken'd zeal we run,
Fix our hopes on Christ, thy Son!
