A VOICE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS.
The preacher of the Gospel word,
The sure forerunner of his Lord,
Sent to prepare the way for Thee,
A voice, and nothing else should be;
Sequester'd from the ways of men,
Be always heard and never seen.
The sure forerunner of his Lord,
Sent to prepare the way for Thee,
A voice, and nothing else should be;
Sequester'd from the ways of men,
Be always heard and never seen.
282
The world he must not seek to please,
A man out of the wilderness;
Friendless, from earth detach'd, unknown,
Saviour, he speaks for Thee alone;
Incessant in Thy name he cries,
Thy herald, till for Thee he dies.
