We Come, O Christ, to You
Author: Margaret Clarkson Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #86 (1990) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.8 First Line: We come, O Christ to you Lyrics: 1 We come, O Christ, to you, true Son of God and man;
by whom all things consist, in whom all life began:
In you alone we live and move, and have our being in your love.
2 You are the Way to God, your blood our ransom paid;
in you we face our Judge and Maker unafraid;
before the throne absolved we stand: your love has met your law’s demand.
3 You are the living Truth, all wisdom dwells in you,
the source of every skill, the one eternal TRUE!
O great I AM! in you we rest, sure answer to our every quest.
4 You only are true Life, to know you is to live
the more abundant life that earth can never give.
O risen Lord! we live in you: in us each day your life renew!
5 We worship you, Lord Christ, our Savior and our King;
to you our youth and strength adoringly we bring:
so fill our hearts that all may view your life in us, and turn to you!

E. Margaret Clarkson
1915 - 2008 Author of "We Come, O Christ, to You" in Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) Edith Margaret Clarkson was a Canadian hymn writer and author, born June 8, 1915, in Melville, Saskatchewan, and long resident in Toronto. Trained as a teacher, she served for decades in public schools while writing hymns and devotional prose marked by doctrinal clarity and poetic restraint. Early texts include “So Send I You” (1937) and “We Come, O Christ, to Thee” (1946); later she contributed widely sung hymns such as “O Father, You Are Sovereign” and “For Your Gift of God the Spirit,” and published numerous books on the Christian life and suffering. Her work—deeply shaped by Reformed conviction—was commissioned and sung in missionary and ecumenical settings worldwide. Clarkson died in 2008, having been named a Fellow of The Hymn Society (1993).

John Darwall
1732 - 1789 Composer of "DARWALL" in Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) John Darwall (b. Haughton, Staffordshire, England, 1731; d. Walsall, Staffordshire, England, 1789) The son of a pastor, he attended Manchester Grammar School and Brasenose College, Oxford, England (1752-1756). He became the curate and later the vicar of St. Matthew's Parish Church in Walsall, where he remained until his death. Darwall was a poet and amateur musician. He composed a soprano tune and bass line for each of the 150 psalm versifications in the Tate and Brady New Version of the Psalms of David (l696). In an organ dedication speech in 1773 Darwall advocated singing the "Psalm tunes in quicker time than common [in order that] six verses might be sung in the same space of time that four generally are."
