Go, Tell Thy Friends

By Marianne Farningham

O SAVIOUR, who has healed me, Let me stay! I would sit beside thy feet All the day. The sunshine is the shining Of thy face, Life has nothing best to offer But thy grace; If I leave thee, what can ever Make amends! But the Master only answers, Go, tell thy friends.
Lord, I am weak and frail, Passing out. Can I say that I am healed When they doubt? I could tell thy love to others; But my own? And I have a crop to reap I have sown! They will watch, and they will judge Aims and ends. It is good to stay with thee— Go, tell thy friends.
So I go, and he goes with me All the way. And I simply tell the story Day by day. They seem very glad to hear it, Whom I love, For their hearts desire him greatly From above. So when faith is growing weak, Through lower ends, I speak about my Saviour To my friends.
