Why Will Ye Die?

Author: Rev. Edward Husband Hymnal: NH1904 #49 (1904) Tune Title: [A great Rock stands in a weary land] First Line: A great Rock stands in a weary land Refrain First Line: Then why will ye die Lyrics: 1 A great Rock stands in a weary land, And its shadows fall on the parchéd sand, And it calls to the trav’ler passing by: “I will shelter thee here continually.” Then why will ye die? Oh! why will ye die? When the shelt’ring Rock is standing by, Oh! why! oh! will ye die? 2 A great well lies in a weary land, And its waters call over life’s rough strand, That the great Well is deep, with waters rife, Springing up into everlasting life. Then why will ye die? Oh! why will ye die? When the great deep Well is standing by, Oh! why! oh! will ye die? 3 A wide Fold stands in a weary land, And the sheep are call’d on every hand; And the Shepherd no wand’rer turns away, But He changes his darkness into day. Then why will ye die? Oh! why will ye die? When the great wide Fold is standing by, Oh! why! oh! will ye die? 4 A rough Cross stands near a city wall, Where the Saviour died out of love for all; Where angels still tell the message blest, That the way now is plain to endless rest. Then why will ye die? Oh! why will ye die? When the blood-stain’d Cross is standing by, Oh! why! oh! will ye die? Topics: Refuge, Rock

A Homeless Stranger

Author: Anon. Hymnal: NH1904 #107 (1904) Tune Title: [A homeless stranger amongst us came] First Line: A homeless Stranger amongst us came Lyrics: 1 A homeless Stranger amongst us came. To this land of death and mourning; He walked in a path of sorrow and shame, Thro’ insult, and hate, and scorning; A Man of sorrows, of toil, of tears, An outcast Man and a lonely, But He looked on me, and thro’ endless years Him must I love, Him only. 2 And them from this sad and sorrowful land, This land of tears He departed; But the light of His eyes and the touch of His hand Had left me broken-hearted; And I clave to Him as He turn’d His face From the land that was mine no longer, The land I’d loved in the ancient days, ere I knew the love that was stronger. 3 And I must abide where He abode, And follow His steps forever; His people, my people; His God, my God, In the land beyond the river; And where He died would I also die; Far dearer a grave beside Him Than a kingly place among living men, The place that they denied Him.
