tr., John Brownlie
6,6,6,6,8,8
I
Come to the Christ in tears,
And in His hearing tell
Thy sins, and griefs, and fears,
The wants He knoweth well;
Fear not to bring a large request,
He gives, and giveth of His best.
II
Come to the Christ in tears:
The contrite heart He wills;
And every prayer He hears,
And every vessel fills; --
We never ask, and sigh unblest,
He gives, and giveth of His best.
III
Come to the Christ in tears; --
As when the clouds depart
A glorious light appears --
So joy shall flood the heart;
They cannot weep who share His grace,
And see the smiling of His face.
