We come, O Christ, to Thee,
|
|
| 1. | We come, O Christ, to Thee, |
| | True Son of God and man, |
| | By whom all things consist, |
| | In whom all life began: |
| | In Thee alone we live and move |
| | And have our being in Thy love. |
| 2. | Thou art the Way to God, |
| | Thy blood our ransom paid; |
| | In Thee we face our Judge |
| | And Maker unafraid. |
| | Before the Throne absolved we stand: |
| | Thy love has met Thy law's demand. |
| 3. | Thou art the living Truth! |
| | All wisdom dwells in Thee, |
| | Thou Source of every skill, |
| | Eternal Verity! |
| | Thou great I Am! In Thee we rest, |
| | True answer to our every quest. |
| 4. | Thou only art true Life, |
| | To know Thee is to live |
| | The more abundant life |
| | That earth can never give: |
| | O Risen Lord! We live in Thee |
| | And Thou in us eternally! |
| 5. | We worship Thee Lord Christ, |
| | Our Savior and our King, |
| | To Thee our youth and strength |
| | Adoringly we bring: |
| | So fill our hearts that men may see |
| | Thy life in us and turn to Thee! |
