7.6.7.6.D. - Trochaic Tunes1.
O word, of words the sweetest
O word in which there lie
All promise, all fulfillment
And end of mystery
Lamenting or rejoicing
With doubt or terror nigh
I hear the “come” of Jesus
And to His cross I fly
“Come!… oh, come to Me
“Come!… oh, come to Me
Weary, heavy laden
“Come! oh, come to Me
2.
O soul! Why shouldst thou wonder
From such a loving Friend
Cling closer, closer to Him
Stay with Him to the end
Alas! I am so helpless
So very full of sin
For I am very wandering
And coming back again
3.
Oh, each time draw me nearer
That soon the “Come” may be
Naught but a gentle whisper
To one close to Thee
The, over sea and mountain
Far from or near my home
I’ll take Thy hand and follow
At that sweet whisper “come”
Amen
