RUN, JONAH, RUN

(Leland Bryant Ross)

Run, Jonah, run, evading God, thy Master!
Flee from the LORD, escape him while thou may'st!
His will be done, unless thy feet prove faster!
Hie, Jonah, toward the goyim with all haste!

Turn from thy calling, fly from the reach

Of God, who said to go to Nineveh and preach!

The tune is TIDINGS, customarily used for O Zion, haste; you can get a MIDI from this page in my hymnal, if you want one.
