Author: Daniel T. MacFarlan Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Tell me, Jesus, tell me now Lyrics: 1 Tell me, Jesus, tell me now, While to Thee I humbly bow, Wilt Thou take this heart of mine, And forever seal it Thine? Wilt Thou come, and there abide, While I see Thy opened side; Pouring forth the streams of life, Giving strength and ending strife? 2 If I yield myself to Thee, Wilt Thou come direct to me, And within Thy loving arms Cause my heart to feel Thy charms? Wilt Thou, oh, my precious Lord, Give me comfort by Thy Word, By Thy truth great joy impart To my poor and throbbing heart? 3 Hark! I hear my Savior say, "Come, My child, oh, come this way; Take My hand and walk with Me In the path I trod for thee; Look by faith and see the blood Sprinkled on the thorny road; See, My child, each step I trod Brings thee nearer to thy God." 4 "Give thy heart, thyself, to Me Give whate’er I ask of thee; Yield up all without restraint, Free from murmur or complaint; Then I’ll take that heart of thine, And with perfect love divine, Make it new and pure within, Spotless from all inbred sin."

Then thou presently wilt see, Thou hast little cause to grieve. 2 “Fear thou not, nor be ashamed, All thy sorrows soon shall end: I who heav’n and earth have framed, Am thy husband and thy friend: I the High and Holy One, Israel’s God by all adored; As thy Savior will be known, Thy Redeemer and thy Lord. 3 “For a moment I withdrew, And thy heart was filled with pain; But My mercies I’ll renew, Thou shalt soon rejoice again: Tho’ I seem to hide My face, Very soon My wrath shall cease; ’Tis but for a moment’s space, Ending in eternal peace. 4 “When My peaceful bow appears Painted on the watery cloud; ’Tis to dissipate thy fears, Lest the earth should be o’erflowed: ’Tis an emblem too of grace, Of My covenant love a sign; Though the mountains leave their place, Thou shalt be for ever Mine. 5 "Though afflicted, tempest-tossed, Comfortless awhile thou art, Do not think thou canst be lost, Thou art graven on My heart: All thy wastes I will repair, Thou shalt be rebuilt anew; And in thee it shall appear, What a God of love can do."
