Author: Dr. J. V. Smith, 1847-1916 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #424 (1917) Hymnal Title: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book Lyrics: 1 To-day, as when Thy followers trod
The lone Judean way,
Draw nigh, Thou risen Son of God,
Our boding fears allay.
2 Weary and sad, with us commune,
To each Thyself reveal;
With words of hope our souls attune,
And break the mystic seal.
3 Teacher from heaven, unlock the word
Spoken by seers of old,
Cause men to see the suffering Lord
Thy glorious plan unfold.
4 So shall our hearts within us burn,
And hope be all aglow,
Master Divine, our spirits yearn
More of Thyself to know.
5 Far-spent the day, with us abide,
Be Thou our welcome guest;
For they whose hearts in Thee confide
Shall be for ever blest.
6 And when the shadows round us fall,
And earth's brief day shall cease,
O Friend of Souls, to each and all
Breathe forth Thy word of "Peace." Topics: Communion With God; The Christian Life Aspiration and Prayer; Evening hymns; Guest Christ our Languages: English Tune Title: DALEHURST
