Hymns from the Morningland ‎#49

49. Come to the Christ in tears

I
Come to the Christ in tears,
And in His hearing tell
Thy sins, and griefs, and fears,
The wants He knoweth well;
Fear not to bring a large request,
He gives, and giveth of His best.

II
Come to the Christ in tears:
The contrite heart He wills;
And every prayer He hears,
And every vessel fills;—
We never ask, and sigh unblest,
He gives, and giveth of His best.

III
Come to the Christ in tears;—
As when the clouds depart
A glorious light appears—
So joy shall flood the heart;
They cannot weep who share His grace,
And see the smiling of His face.
