I am com­ing to the Mas­ter,
Savior, more than life to me,
start
When these bliss­ful spir­its meet,
Fierce ’tho the bil­lows may break ov­er me,
Fierce ’tho the bil­lows may break ov­er me,
Tempest tossed and sore dis­tressed,
Night her sa­ble shade is fling­ing,
Night her sa­ble shade is fling­ing,
God’s dear will to do;
For the weeds and ivy-vine,
Rest with them so far away!
Earth’s gains I count but dross, Je­sus is mine;
Take up thy rest above;
Where Thy blood was shed for me!
And His Word I now be­lieve.
And His Word I now be­lieve.
May try to en­tice me and take me along;

cling­ing

Blessèd sav­ing Rock,
As a refuge from des­pair,
Clinging, cling­ing,
Let Thy pre­cious blood ap­plied,
He ever keeps me in His sweet fa­vor;
To the dear Re­deem­er’s feet.
Toiling and bur­dened, I faint by the way;
Toiling and bur­dened, I faint by the way;
Naught on earth can give me rest,
To the form with­in the tomb.
To the form with­in the tomb.
Little sol­diers true.
Ever round the hinges twine.
They will thank­ful praise pro­long,
Let death’s un­yield­ing wave lay me with­in the grave,
Ascend, my lin­ger­ing love!
Peace and rap­ture all may know;
Tho’ the tem­pest round me blow;
Tho’ the tem­pest round me blow;
He’s more than all this world to me (to me).
