Crowning Day No. 5 ‎#114

114. Come In, O Lord

1 Come in, O Lord, drive out the gloom,
And make my heart a sunlit room,
Chase all the shades of night away
And make it bright and light as flee.

Refrain:
Come in, come in,
Chase all the shades of night away.
Come in, come,
And make my heart as light as day.

2 Come in, O Lord, ‘mid grief I’m bow’d,
Hangs o’er my head a heavy cloud;
let me lift up my eyes to Thee!
One glimpse can make the darkness flee. [Refrain]

3 Come in, O Lord, I’d rest me here
Till all this anguish disappear,
With Thee communion sweet I’d hold
Till ev’ry cloud has backward roll’d. [Refrain]

4 Come in, O Lord, yes, do come in,
My heart may hold some cherished sin;
I’d have Thee cast the idol out,
I’d have Thee put the sin to rout! [Refrain]
