EN 4200 EVER WOULD I FAIN BE READING

John.6.37

Versi Version 1

1

Ever would I fain be reading

In the ancient holy Book,

Of my Savior’s gentle pleading,

Truth in every word and look.

2

How when children came He blessed them,

Suffered no man to reprove,

Took them in His arms, and pressed them

To His heart with words of love.

3

How to all the sick and tearful

Help was ever gladly shown;

How He sought the poor and fearful,

Called them brothers and His own.

4

How no contrite soul e’er sought Him,

And was bidden to depart,

How with gentle words He taught him,

Took the death from out his heart.

5

Still I read the ancient story,

And my joy is ever new,

How for us He left His glory,

How He still is kind and true.

6

How the flock He gently leadeth

Whom His Father gave Him here;

How His arms He widely spreadeth

To His heart to draw us near.

7

Let me kneel, my Lord, before Thee,

Let my heart in tears o’erflow,

Melted by Thy love adore Thee,

Blest in Thee ’mid joy or woe!
