I. Lord! Come Away歌词完整版
LORD! COME AWAY!
Lord! Come away!
Why dost Thou stay?
Thy road is ready; and Thy paths, made straight
With longing expectation, wait
The consecration of Thy beauteous feet!
Ride on triumphantly!
Behold we lay our lusts and proud wills in Thy way!
Hosanna! Welcome to our hearts!
Lord, here Thou hast a temple too; as full as dear
As that of Sion, and as full of sin:
Nothing but thieves and robbers dwell therein;
Enter, and chase them forth, and cleanse the floor!
Crucify them, that they may never more
Profane that holy place
Where Thou hast chose to set Thy face!
And then, if our stiff tongues shall be
Mute in the praises of Thy Deity,
The stones out of the temple wall
Shall cry aloud and call
“Hosanna!” and Thy glorious footsteps greet!
Bishop Jeremy Taylor 1613-1667
