Hymn 27 The milch kine drawing the ark: Faith's surrender of all 1Sam 6:12

John Newton

6,6,8,6

The milch kine drawing the ark:
Faith's surrender of all
1Sam 6:12

The kine unguided went

By the directest road;

When the Philistines homeward sent

The ark of Israel's God.

Lowing they passed along,

And left their calves shut up;

They felt an instinct for their young,

But would not turn or stop.

Shall brutes, devoid of thought,

Their Maker's will obey;

And we, who by his grace are taught,

More stubborn prove than they?

He shed his precious blood

To make us his alone;

If washed in that atoning flood

We are no more our own.

If he his will reveal,

Let us obey his call;

And think whate'er the flesh may feel,

His love deserves our all.

We should maintain in view

His glory, as our end;

Too much we cannot bear, or do,

For such a matchless friend.

His saints should stand prepared

In duty's path to run;

Nor count their greatest trials hard,

So that his will be done.

With Jesus for our guide,

The path is safe though rough

The promise says, |I will provide,|

And faith replies, |Enough!|
