494. I Am Coming, O My Saviour

1 I am coming, O my Saviour;
For Thy child I long to be;
I am coming, for I heard Thee
On the desert calling me.

Refrain:
I am weary, I am weary,
And I fain would be at rest;
Let Thy gentle peace descending
Fold its pinions on my breast.

2 Let me take Thy yoke upon me,
And with meekness learn Thy will;
Let Thy voice, like sweetest music,
Bid my troubled heart be still. [Refrain]

3 I am coming, I am coming,
And Thy promise I believe;
If I seek thee I shall find Thee;
And Thy pardon now receive. [Refrain]
