164 Metliinks I hear my Saviour say, &quot; Wilt thou forsake me too?&quot;

2 Ah, Lord! with such a heart as mine, Unless thou hold me fast, I feel I must, I shall decline, And prove like them at last.

3 Yet thou alone hast power, I know, To save a wretch like me ; To whom, or whither, could I go, If I should turn from thee ?

4 Beyond a doubt I rest assured Thou art the Christ of God, Who hast eternal life secured By promise and by blood.

5 The help of men and angels join d Could never reach my case ; Nor can I hope relief to find But in thy boundless grace.

6 No voice but thine can give me rest, And bid my fears depart ; No love but thine can make me bless cl. And satisfy my heart.

7 What anguish has that question stirr d, If I will also go? Yet, Lord, relying on thy word, I humbly answer No.

1 &quot; I AM,&quot; saith Christ, &quot; your glorious head,&quot; i (May we attention give,) &quot; The resurrection of the dead, The life of all that live.

2 &quot;By faith in me the soul receives New life, though dead before ; And he that in my name believes, Shall live to die no more.
