1 Jesus, Savior, come to me!
Let me ever be with Thee;
Come, and nevermore depart,
Thou who reignest in my heart.
Let me ever be with Thee;
Come, and nevermore depart,
Thou who reignest in my heart.
2 Lord, for Thee I ever sigh,
Nothing else can satisfy,
'Tis my constant cry to Thee:
Jesus, Jesus, come to me!
Nothing else can satisfy,
'Tis my constant cry to Thee:
Jesus, Jesus, come to me!
3 Earthly joys can give no peace,
Cannot bid my longing cease;
But to have my Jesus near,
This is all my pleasure here.
Cannot bid my longing cease;
But to have my Jesus near,
This is all my pleasure here.
4 All that makes the angels glad,
In their garb of glory clad,
Only fills me with distress,
If Thy presence do not bless.
In their garb of glory clad,
Only fills me with distress,
If Thy presence do not bless.
5 Take Thou all away from me,
I shall still thus minded be;
Thou who madest me Thine own
Shalt be e'er my joy alone.
I shall still thus minded be;
Thou who madest me Thine own
Shalt be e'er my joy alone.
6 Lord, to none on earth, beside
Thee, my heart I open wide;
Enter Thou, possess it all,
Thee alone mine own I call.
Thee, my heart I open wide;
Enter Thou, possess it all,
Thee alone mine own I call.
7 Thou alone, my God and Lord,
Art my Glory and Reward;
Thou hast bled for me and died,
I will be no other's bride.
Art my Glory and Reward;
Thou hast bled for me and died,
I will be no other's bride.
8 Come then, Lamb for sinners slain,
Come and ease me of my pain;
Evermore I cry to Thee:
Jesus, Jesus, come to me!
Come and ease me of my pain;
Evermore I cry to Thee:
Jesus, Jesus, come to me!
