And leave me here behind; | |||
Don't stop for me, for now, I see | |||
The Lord is just and kind. | |||
2. Go on, go on, my soul says go, | |||
And I'll come after you, | |||
Though I'm behind, yet I can find, | |||
I'll sing Hosanna too. | |||
3. Lord, give you strength that you may run, | |||
And keep your footsteps right. | |||
Though fast you go, and I so slow, | |||
You are not out of sight. | |||
4. When you get to the worlds above, | |||
And all his glory see, | |||
When you get home, your journey's done, | |||
Then look you out for me. | |||
5. For I will come fast as I can | |||
Along that way I steer; | |||
Lord, give me strength, I shall at length | |||
Be one amongst you there. | |||
