Come In and Abide

Come

blest Re­deem­er!

Be Thy serv­ants’ hon­ored guest—

Come in com­pas­sion

Give the trou­bled rest.

Lo

the day is dy­ing—

Lo

the night comes on apace

And our spir­its sigh­ing

Long to see Thy face.

Jesus—dear Mas­ter

Come and reign with­in each heart

Deign to be near us;

Nevermore de­part.

Come

dear Re­deem­er!

We are faint and sore dis­tressed:

If Thou wilt en­ter

We are tru­ly blest.

Thou dost soothe our ang­uish

Thou for­giv’st Thy peo­ple’s sin—

We are lost with­out Thee

Haste to en­ter in.

Hail! bless­èd Je­sus

Thou hast heard Thy serv­ants’ pray­er

And hearts are glow­ing

In Thy pre­sence fair.

Thou hast sown the sun­beams

Where the sha­dows used to dwell

Thou hast whis­pered soft­ly

Peace—all shall be well.
