Child of the Father above?
Where is thy hope in his mercy?
Where is thy trust in his love?
Refrain:
Go to the arms of the Saviour,
Pillow thy head on his breast;
He will remove thy transgressions
Far as the east from the west.
2 Why is thy harp on the willow?
Hast thou no song for the Lord?
Think of each wonderful promise
Jesus has left in his Word. [Refrain]
3 Why is thy harp on the willow?
Why art thou troubled and tried?
Hast thou, o’ercome by the tempter,
Wandered away from thy Guide? [Refrain]
4 Wouldst thou return to thy duty,
Jesus will answer thy call;
If thou art truly repentant,
He will forgive thee for all. [Refrain]
5 Take now thy harp from the willow,
Sing the glad songs of the past;
Trust not thyself, but in Jesus,
Then shalt thou triumph at last. [Refrain]Tune Title: [Why is thy harp on the willow]
