29] LITTLE ANN. 29 This is the way I long have sought, And mourn’d because I found it not; My grief and burden long has been. Because I could not cease from sin. The more I strove against its power, I sinn’d and stumbled but the more ; Till late I heard my Saviour say, “ Come hither, soul, I am the way.” Lo, glad I come ! and thou, blest Lamb, Shalt take me to thee as I am; My sinful self to thee I give, Nothing but love shall I receive. Then will I tell to sinners round, What a dear Saviour I have found ; I’ll point to thy redeeming blood, And say—“ Behold the Lamb of God I” She then named several others.
