An early summons Jesus sends

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #898 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 An early summons Jesus sends, To call a child above, Yet whispers to the weeping friends, 'Tis all the fruit of love. 2 To save your darling child from woe, And sin-alluring charms, From all the griefs you feel below, I take it to my arms. 3 Then do not rashly with me strive, Nor vainly fast nor weep; The child, though dead, is still alive, Its body does but sleep. 4 'Tis where the pure in heart see God, It feels no sorrow there; 'Tis by a heavenly parent fed, And needs no more your care. 5 I loaned it for a little space; While mortal it was thine; Then took it to my fond embrace; It lives for ever mine. 6 Now seek the Lord with all your heart, And know your sins forgiven; Then you shall meet, and never part, With those you love in heaven.
