PARTING WORDS.
by james montgomery.
“And he said let me go, for the day breaketh”
Genesis xxii:23.
Let me go, the day is breaking—
Dear companions, let me go;
We have spent a night in waking
In the wilderness below;
Upward now I bend my way,
Part we here at break of day.
Let me go; I may not tarry,
Wrestling thus with doubts and fears,
Angels wait my soul to carry
Where my risen Lord appears.
Friends and kindred, weep not so—
If ye love me, let me go.
We have traveled long together,
Hand in hand and heart in heart,
Both through fair and stormy weather,
And ’tis hard, ’tis hard to part;
While I sigh “Farewell” to you,
Answer one and all, “Adieu!”
’Twas darkness gathering round me,
This withdraws me from your sight;
Walls of flesh no more can bind me—
But translated into light.
Like the lark on mountain wing,
Though unseen, you hear me sing.
Heaven’s broad day hath o’er me broken,
Far beyond earth’s span of sky;
Am I dead?—Nay by this token,
Know that I have ceased to die:
Would you solve the mystery,
Come up hither—come and see.
