Old-Line Primitive Baptist Hymn and Tune Book

742 (L.M.) Thomas Gibbons

Lord, must Thy gospel fly away,

And all Thy mercies be removed?

Are we to sin become a prey?

And all our talents misimproved?

Oh, must we bid our God adieu?

And must the gospel take its flight?

Oh, shall our children never view

The beamings of that heavenly light?

If broken hearts and weeping eyes

Can find acceptance at Thy throne,

Lo, here they are: this sacrifice

Thou wilt accept through Christ, Thy Son.
