Death & Dying
Matthew 9:27: Jesus, Thou Son of David, stay
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Death & Dying
Jesus, Thou Son of David, stay,
As now Thou passest by;
For mercy unto Thee I pray.
And follow while I cry:
Thee Prophet, Priest, and King I own,
God-man to sinners given,
Who bring'st the blind by ways unknown
To worship Thee in heaven.
