Hymn 6
Come to me. Lord, when first I wake
- 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 communings 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 withhold 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.
Christly Living
