No. 38. 2 My father!-ah! no more My heart is bent-a Magdalen. 3 The grave-the only end To sorrow's heavy load! To them at peace with God: First given and free: There's none for me-a Magdalen! 4 I've heard of Jesus' name, Who on the gospel-day, Received all that came, Nor turned a wretch away: Will Jesus hear, In earnest prayer-a Magdalen ? 5 Methinks I feel a ray Of hope arising round; 6 And will you, can you take On guilt like mine-a Magdalen ! 7 Here, then, in this retreat And answer prayer: And say, 'Lo! here-a Magdalen!' |
