Death & Dying
Mark 7:31: We see not why the Man Divine
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
We see not why the Man Divine
One country for another leaves.
He only knows His own design,
Who no account to sinners gives.
Who nothing to the creature owes.
But when He will His gifts bestows.
He holds us thus in humble fear.
Lest we His gracious presence lose.
Instructs us to detain Him here,
His gifts and benefits to use
And profit by His gospel-word,
And keep, by walking with our Lord.
