When Any Turn From Zion's Way

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13048 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: When any turn from Zion’s way Lyrics: 1 When any turn from Zion’s way, (Alas! what numbers 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; I feel I must, I shall decline, And prove like them at last. 3 Yet Thou alone hast power, I know, To save a wretch like me; To whom, or whither, could I go, If I should turn from Thee? 4 Beyond a doubt I rest assured Thou art the Christ of God; Who hast eternal life secured By promise and by blood. 5 The help of men and angels joined, 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. 7 What anguish has that question stirred, If I will also go? Yet, Lord, relying on Thy Word, I humbly answer, "No!" Languages: English Tune Title: MAITLAND
