Author: Martha J. Lankton Hymnal: Songs of Praise and Salvation #37 (1902) First Line: I will go, I cannot stay Refrain First Line: Can it be, O can it be Lyrics: 1 I will go, I cannot stay
From the arms of love away;
O for strength of faith to say,
Jesus died for me.
Refrain:
Can it be, O can it be
There is hope for one like me?
I will go with this my plea,
Jesus died for me.
2 Tho’ I long have tried in vain,
Tried to break the tempter’s chain,
Yet today I’ll try again,
Jesus, help Thou me. [Refrain]
3 I am lost, and yet I know
Earth can never heal my woe;
I will rise at once and go,
Jesus died for me. [Refrain]
4 Something whispers in my soul,
Tho’ my sins like mountains roll,
Jesus’ blood will make me whole,
Jesus died for me. [Refrain]
5 I obey the Saviour’s call,
Now to Him I yield my all,
At His feet, where others fall,
There’s a place for me. [Refrain] Tune Title: [I will go, I cannot stay]
I Will Go
