Hymn 005 - Come to me, Lord, when first I wake
L.M.
When will Thou come unto me: Ps. 101:2
- mf Come to me, Lord, when first I wake
As the faint lights of morning break;
Bid purest thoughts within me rise,
Like crystal dew-drops to the skies. - Come to me in the sultry noon,
Or earth's low communing will soon
Of Thy dear Face, eclipse the light,
And change my fairest day to night - mp Come to me in the evening shade
And if my heart from Thee hath strayed,
Oh bring it back, and from afar
Smile on me like Thine ev'ning star - Come to me in the midnight hour,
When sleep withholds its balmy pow'r;
p Let my lone spirit find her rest,
Like John, upon my Saviour's breast. - mp Come to me through life's varied way,
And when its pulses cease to play
Then, Saviour, bid me come to Thee
f That where Thou art, Thy child may be.
Amen.
