Shall I forsake that heavenly friend

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #300 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Shall I forsake that heav'nly Friend, On whom my noblest hopes depend? Forbid it, that my wand'ring heart From thee, my Saviour, should depart! 2 First let the wheels of life stand still, Ere I forget thy gracious will; Ere I submit to guilty shame, And bring dishonour on thy name. 3 Faithful to thee, and to thy laws, With zeal I would maintain thy cause, The cause of truth and righteousness, 'Midst trial, suff'ring, and distress. 4 If e'er I'm call'd t'encounter death For thee, may I resign my breath; And rap at last the bright reward, Which waits the servants of the Lord.
