lyrics
Hold back your hand, angel, harm no more
Till the king arrives at this threshing floor
Where they’ll fall on their own faces, cry O Lord
Lest the angel slay with his outstretched sword, saying
Let your hand, I pray
Be against me now, Lord, I’ve gone astray, let me go
Arauna's threshing floor
May I pay the price that forevermore it’d be your home
Shall years of famine come upon you?
Would your foes pursue, or the plague consume?
So then, please understand that I’m in a strait
I’d fall in His hand since His mercy’s great, crying
Let your hand, I pray
Be against me now, Lord, I’ve gone astray, let me go
Arauna's threshing floor
May I pay the price that forevermore it’d be your home
Sufferings profoundly cutting keep falling from his smiting sword
Offerings that cost me nothing would never please my righteous Lord
Let your hand, I pray
Be against me now, Lord, I’ve gone astray, let me go
Arauna's threshing floor
May I pay the price that forevermore it’d be your...
Lord, I’ve gone astray
Please forgive me now, put my sin away, let me go
Arauna's threshing floor
May I pay the price that forevermore it’d be your home
