[ar:LSM]
[al:I Come To Thee, Dear Lord]

[00:01.94]Lord Jesus, I long in Thy presence to live,
[00:10.96]From morning to evening my one world Thou art;
[00:18.77]O let not my heart be contented or rest
[00:26.73]When loving or seeking what with Thee doth part.
[00:37.51]Each moment, each day, throughout suff'ring and pain,
[00:44.79]When nought in the world can give comfort or cheer,
[00:53.32]When sighing and weeping encompasses me,
[01:00.92]Lord, still all my sighing and wipe every tear.
[01:21.06]Each time when I dream of the goodness of life,
[01:27.21]I pray Thee, dear Lord, that Thou in it may be;
[01:35.64]O do not allow me to choose by myself,
[01:42.20]Nor seek any pleasure that's other than Thee.
[01:51.40]Each night when alone in the stillness I lie,
[01:57.58]I pray Thee, Lord Jesus, that Thou wilt be near;
[02:06.21]Each morning ere dawn comes, while still in my sleep,
[02:12.59]Then whispering call me and open my ear.
[02:25.19]Each time, Lord, when reading in Thy holy Word,
[02:32.11]I pray that Thy glory may shine on each line,
[02:41.38]That clearly I'll see what a Savior I have
[02:48.66]And how great salvation that Thou hast made mine.
[02:56.88]When helpless I come, Lord, to knee at Thy throne,
[03:03.93]I pray Thee to hear me and grant me Thy grace;
[03:12.94]If thru my shortcomings Thou hear not my prayer,
[03:20.15]Withdraw not Thy presence, O hide not Thy face.
[03:34.05]Each time when of heavenly blessings I think,
[03:41.54]O let my heart long to be raptured to Thee;
[03:49.39]My only hope here is Thy coming again,
[03:57.04]My only joy there, Lord, Thy presence will be.
[04:07.61]Lord, teach me each day in Thy presence to live,
[04:15.52]From morning to evening my one world Thou art;
[04:23.59]O let not my heart be contented or rest
[04:32.29]When loving or seeking what with Thee doth part.
