Jesus, We Come to Thee

Laura E. Newell • English

Primary Scripture: Hebrews 12:2

Verse 1

Jesus, we come to thee, Craving thy love; We would beseech thy aid Where’er we rove. Still nearer to thy side, Once pierced and crucified, Jesus, we come to thee, Craving thy love.

Verse 2

Jesus, we come to thee, Shepherd divine; Wilt thou be merciful? Our hearts incline Toward thy blessed truth, Solace to age or youth, Jesus, we come to thee, Shepherd divine.

Verse 3

Jesus, we come to thee, Wilt thou uphold All thro’ life’s changing years As they unfold? And then, when comes the night, Oh, may our hopes be bright; Jesus, we come to thee, Wilt thou uphold?
