Author: Johann Scheffler (Angelus Silesius); Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #279 (1908) Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Savior! come to me,
Let me ever be with Thee;
Come, and nevermore depart,
Thou who reignest in my heart.
2 Ever do I for Thee sigh,
Nothing else can satisfy.
Ever do I cry to Thee:
Jesus, Jesus, come to me!
3 Earthly joys can give no peace,
Ne'er can bid my longing cease;
Still to have my Jesus near,
This is all my pleasure here.
4 All that makes the angels glad,
In their garb of glory clad,
Only fills me with distress
If Thy presence does not bless.
5 Take Thou all away from me,
I shall still thus minded be,
Thou who madest me Thine own
Shalt be all my joy alone.
6 None shall claim my heart beside,
None but Jesus crucified;
Savior, I am only Thine,
Other love shall ne'er be mine.
7 Thou alone, my God and Lord,
Art my glory and reward;
Thou hast bled for me and died,
I will be no other's bride.
8 Come, then, Lamb for sinners slain,
Come and ease me of my pain;
Evermore I cry to Thee:
Jesus, Jesus, come to me!
9 Patiently I wait and pray;
Jesus do not say me nay;
That when death shall come to me,
Thou my Jesus sweet wilt be. Topics: The Catechism The Redeemer; Fourth Sunday of Advent; Third Sunday in Lent; Sixth Sunday in Lent Languages: English Tune Title: HOLLEY
Jesus, Savior, come to me!
