Come, Jesus, Redeemer

Come

Je­sus

Re­deem­er

abide Thou with me;

Come

glad­den my spir­it

that wait­eth for Thee;

Thy smile ev­ery shadow shall chase from my heart

And soothe ev­ery sor­row though keen be the smart.

Without Thee but weak­ness

with Thee I am strong;

By day Thou shalt lead me

by night be my song

Though dan­gers sur­round me

I still ev­ery fear

Since Thou

the Most Migh­ty

my help­er

art near.

Thy love

oh

how faith­ful! so ten­der

so pure!

Thy pro­mise

faith’s an­chor

how stead­fast and sure!

That love

like sweet sun­shine

My cold heart can warm

That pro­mise make stea­dy my soul in the storm.

Breathe

breathe on my spir­it

Oft ruf­fled

Thy peace:

From rest­less

vain wish­es

bid Thou my heart cease;

In Thee all its long­ings hence for­ward shall end

Till

glad

to Thy pre­sence my soul shall as­cend.

Oh

then

bless­èd Je­sus

who once for me died

Made clean in the fount­ain

That gushed from Thy side

I’ll see Thy full glo­ry

Thy face shall be­hold

And praise Thee with rap­tures for ev­er un­told.
