Text: | What Stands Between? |
Author: | Ella E. Miles |
Tune: | [What stands between thee and thy Saviour to-day?] |
Composer: | F. S. Stanton |
1 What stands between thee and thy Saviour to-day?
O brother, examine thyself now I pray;
Is thy heart with the pleasures of sin satisfied?
Are you bound by the chains of its fashion and pride?
Chorus:
What stands between thee and thy Saviour to-day?
From his smile of approval, what keeps thee away?
Look into thy heart, every idol dethrone,
Let him be its guest who will call thee his own.
2 What stands between thee and thy Saviour to-day?
My sister, what caus'd thee to turn from the way?
Are the toys of this world, with their glitter so bright,
Alluring each sense, taking captive thy sight? [Chorus]
3 What stands between thee and thy Saviour to-day?
O wand'rers from Jesus, why will ye delay?
Come, come to him quickly, confessing thy sin,
O knock, and he'll open and welcome you in. [Chorus]
