Rejoice with me
From Verses (1893)
Little Lamb, who lost thee?—
I myself, none other.—
Little Lamb, who found thee?—
Jesus, Shepherd, Brother.
Ah, Lord, what I cost Thee!
Canst Thou still desire?—
Still Mine arms surround thee,
Still I lift thee higher,
Draw thee nigher.
Shall not the judge of all the earth do right?
Yea, Lord, altho’ Thou say me nay:
Shall not His Will be to me life and light?
Yea, Lord, altho’ Thou slay.
Yet, Lord, remembering turn and sift and see,
Remember tho’ Thou sift me thro’,
Remember my desire, remember me,
Remember, Lord, and do.
