Child of My Love

Author: Mrs. C. H. M. Hymnal: The Old Story in Song Number Two #46 (1908) First Line: Why wilt thou stay away from me Lyrics: 1 Why wilt thou stay away from me, Child of my love, child of my love? Why will ye heavy-laden be, Child of my tend’rest care? Strong in my arm, lean hard on me, Child of my love, child of my love; I would thy burden-bearer be, Child of my tend’rest care. Saviour, dear Saviour, I have heard thee calling, “Ye heavy laden ones by sin oppressed,” Like music sweet upon my ear ‘tis falling, “Come unto me and I will give you rest,” Will give you rest. 2 Why to this cold world wilt thou cling, Child of my love, child of my love? Nothing of comfort can it bring, Child of my tend’rest care; Many long years for thee I’ve sought, Child of my love, child of my love, Pardon for thee my life-blood bought, Child of my tend’rest care. Saviour, dear Saviour, I have heard thee pleading, Thy voice has followed as afar I’ve roamed; Love now has conquered and my heart is yielding Take me, O loving Lord, and lead me home, And lead me home. Tune Title: [Why wilt thou stay away from me]
