The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#430

430. With tearful eyes I look around

1 With tearful eyes I look around;
Life seems a dark and stormy sea,
Yet 'mid the gloom, I hear a sound
A heavenly whisper, "Come to me."

2 It tells me of a place of rest;
It tells me where my soul may flee:
O, to the weary, faith, oppressed,
How sweet the bidding, "Come to me."

3 "Come, for all else must fail and die!
Earth is no resting-place for thee;
To heaven direct thy weeping eye,
I am thy portion; come to me."

4 O voice of mercy! voice of love!
In conflict, grief, and agony,
Support me, cheer me from above!
And gently whisper, "Come to me."
