[Of evangelic pains afraid]
John departing from them returned to, &c.
—xiii. 13.
Of evangelic pains afraid,
With danger or fatigue dismay'd,
Ah, why did he draw back?
Counsel with flesh and blood he took,
That the good work which he forsook
I never may forsake.
With danger or fatigue dismay'd,
Ah, why did he draw back?
Counsel with flesh and blood he took,
That the good work which he forsook
I never may forsake.
Or if I have turn'd back in heart,
Or basely threaten'd to depart,
And from my brethren fly,
My weakness, Lord, like John I mourn,
And by Thy gracious help return
With them to live and die.
Or basely threaten'd to depart,
And from my brethren fly,
My weakness, Lord, like John I mourn,
And by Thy gracious help return
With them to live and die.
