The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

Even when their foolish words they turned on him,

He did not his disciples send away;

He knew their hearts were foolish, eyes were dim,

And therefore by his side needs must they stay.

Thou will not, Lord, send me away from thee.

When I am foolish, make thy cock crow grim;

If that is not enough, turn, Lord, and look on me.
