Come Unto Me.

WITH a heart full of anxious requests, Which my Father in Heaven bestowed, I wandered alone and distressed, In search of a quiet abode.

Astray and distracted I cried, Lord what wilt thou have me to be? And the voice of the Lamb that had died Said, Come my beloved to me.

I went; for he mightily wins Weary souls to his peaceful retreat, And he gave me forgiveness of sins, And songs that I love to repeat.

As often as enemies came, My views of his glory to dim, He taught me to trust in his name, And triumph by leaning on him.

Made pure by the blood that he shed, My heart in his presence is free, I was hungry and thirsty—he fed; I was sick and he comforted me.

He gave me the blessing complete, The hope that is with me to-day, And a quiet abode at his feet, That shall never be taken away.
