Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CXCIX (1799) Hymnal Title: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors First Line: When any turn from Zion's way Lyrics: 1 When any turn from Zion's way,
(As numbers often do)
Methinks I hear my Savior say,
"Wilt thou forsake me too?"
2 Ah Lord! with such a heart as mine,
Unless thou hold me fast,
My faith will fail, I shall decline,
And prove like them at last.
3 'Tis thou alone hast pow'r and grace,
To save a wretch like me;
To whom shall I then turn my face,
If I depart from thee?
4 Beyond a doubt I rest assur'd
Thou art the CHRIST of GOD;
Who hast eternal life secur'd,
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 blest,
And satisfy my heart.
