Will you also leave Me?

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]
To whom to go if leaving You?
who else to know, who else can do
the needed things to wipe away
our guilt and sins so that we may
have God as Friend and Father wise
to love, defend, and wipe our eyes.
They came to see You feed and heal.
You came to be our Saviour real.
They want a King to free the land,
and do their ‘thing’ and make them grand:
not keen to hear rebukes to guide,
Your truth so clear, serve at Your side.
“You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the twelve. Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.” John 6:67-69
Tune 88 88 88 eg Melita (tune of ‘Eternal Father strong to save’ or Motzart (Isaac) (tune of ‘We have not known Thee as we ought’) or 'Solid rock' (tune of 'My hope is built on nothing less'

Your hymn reminds me also of when Jesus walked on the water and then Peter too, when Peter's faith failed Jesus took his hand and saved Peter from drowning.
"Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the waters, put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea."
I do think it is appropriate. He will never desert us. He will never forsake us. Were any of your hymns' words been used? In church or recordings etc?
Thanks keep well &

Hi Rhiannon
Hi Rhiannon
It is a lovely hymn and as I sang it along to the music, it fit in very well.
