125. I Come to Thee, O Christ

1 I come to Thee, O Christ,
Lead Thou me home;
Back to my Father’s house,
No more to roam.

Chorus:
Dear Lord, I come to Thee,
Thou lovest me.

2 I come to Thee, O Christ,
And ask Thy aid;
The way is long and dark,
And I have strayed. [Chorus]

3 I come to Thee, O Christ,
Let Thou me in;
Take from my heart its load
Of earthly sin. [Chorus]

4 I come to Thee, O Christ,
Behold my grief;
Bid me once more rejoice,
Give me relief. [Chorus]
