Hymn Context Compare
Powerless to move, however,
Humbly at Thy feet I bow;
Pressed into liberty where nothing clings,
This new song to sing.
That this law of life, would of us be part,
But love eternal appeared and He called me,
O lovely Bridegroom, our nat’ral strength e’er fails us;
Sinner, do not longer roam,
Most holy, mighty, glorious.
Jesus, I come to Thee!
Angels came down o’er His tomb to keep vigil;
All around us, enemies;
What is it? There must be something wrong...
The Spirit’s very likeness is portrayed?”

hopeless

At this pool how clear the picture
Oh, dear Savior, save me now!
Pressed into life, a life in Christ the Lord,
We sinners had been,
Preparing a way for Christ to come in.
Into His Son now I have been transferred,
Our little pow’r to cling to our Beloved,
Be in time!
Dare we entreat You though we’re wrong?
Into the home of refuge and bliss,
One day the grave could conceal Him no longer,
Lord, we don’t know what to do;
Always searching, but tasting emptiness.
These eyes grew dim and blind and found no rest,
