Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #106 (1918) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Savior, come to me!
Let me ever be with Thee;
Come, and nevermore depart,
Thou who reignest in my heart.
2 Lord, for Thee I ever sigh,
Nothing else can satisfy,
'Tis my constant cry to Thee:
Jesus, Jesus, come to me!
3 Earthly joys can give no peace,
Cannot bid my longing cease;
But to have my Jesus near,
This is all my pleasure here.
4 All that makes the angels glad,
In their garb of glory clad,
Only fills me with distress,
If Thy presence do not bless.
5 Take Thou all away from me,
I shall still thus minded be;
Thou who madest me Thine own
Shalt be e'er my joy alone.
6 Lord, to none on earth, beside
Thee, my heart I open wide;
Enter Thou, possess it all,
Thee alone mine own I call.
7 Thou alone, my God and Lord,
Art my Glory and Reward;
Thou hast bled for me and died,
I will be no other's bride.
8 Come then, Lamb for sinners slain,
Come and ease me of my pain;
Evermore I cry to Thee:
Jesus, Jesus, come to me!
9 Patiently I wait Thy day;
For this gift yet, Lord, I pray,
That, when death shall come to me,
My sweet Jesus Thuo wilt be. Topics: The Redeemer Languages: English
