77. Jesus come, O come to me

1 Jesus, come, O come to me, Lord, I pray, abide with me. Come, Thou art my soul’s delight, And with me do Thou abide. 2 Thousand times I long for Thee; Nothing else can comfort me; Thousand times I cry to Thee; Jesus, Jesus, come to me. 3 Pleasures on this earth abound, Yet my heart no joy has found. But Thy presence, Lord, to me Shall my joy forever be. 4 To no other be it told That I would my heart unfold; Only Thou may enter in, Only Thou may reign within. 5 Only Thou, O Son of God, Will I call my crown, my lot; Thou O Lamb, didst die for me; Thou my bridegroom e’er shalt be.
