Wherefore Should I Make My Moan?

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9211 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 First Line: Wherefore should I make my moan Lyrics: 1 Wherefore should I make my moan, Now the darling child is dead? He to early rest is gone, He to paradise is fled; I shall go to him, but he Never shall return to me. 2 God forbids his longer stay, God recalls the precious loan, God hath taken him away, From my bosom to His own; Surely what He wills is best, Happy in His will I rest. 3 Faith cries out, "It is the Lord! Let Him do as seems Him good"; Be Thy holy name adored, Take the gift awhile bestowed; Take the child, no longer mine, Thine he is, forever Thine. Languages: English Tune Title: REDHEAD
