Jesus, Savior, come to me

Verse 1

Jesus, Savior, come to me; Let me ever be with Thee. Come and nevermore depart, Thou who reignest in my heart.

Verse 2

Lord, for Thee I ever sigh, Nothing else can satisfy. Ever do I cry to Thee: Jesus, Jesus, come to me!

Verse 3

Earthly joys can give no peace, Cannot bid my longing cease; Still to have my Jesus near, This is all my pleasure here.

Verse 4

All that makes the angels glad, In their garb of glory clad, Only fills me with distress If Thy presence does not bless.

Verse 5

Thou alone, my God and Lord, Art my Glory and Reward. Thou hast bled for me and died; In Thy wounds I safely hide.

Verse 6

Come, then, Lamb for sinners slain, Come and ease me of my pain. Evermore I cry to Thee: Jesus, Jesus, come to me!

Verse 7

Patiently I wait Thy Day; For this gift, O Lord, I pray, That, when death shall come to me, My dear Jesus Thou wilt be. Amen.
