I come to Thee, my Love

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I come to thee, my Love, From ways of grief and pain; I come to thee, my Love. Who here in light dost reign. The tempest raves without, The angry billows roll, But here Thy peace is mine, Thou Lover of my soul. 2 Oh, touch me with thy hand, As in the dust I lie; Oh, lift me to thy heart: Without Thee I must die. My soul is faint and dark, I come to thee for rest; Oh, let me see Thy light, And lie upon Thy breast. 3 I long when far away, To be with Thee again, Where treasures of thy grace Fall like the silent rain. O yield and hidden Love, O loving, gracious Lord; From Thee the silver showers Upon my heart are poured. 4 The storm of pain and grief Bends me beneath its power; I have no help but Thee In sorrow's darkest hour. O help me then, my Love, For I am dark and lone; And joy and light are Thine Upon this Altar-throne. Used With Tune: [I come to thee, my Love]

I rise from dreams of time

Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I rise from dreams of time, From the shadows of this life, From the tombs and places waste, From an earth of sin and strife; I rise from dreams of time, An angel guides my feet, my feet To thy sacred altar-throne, Whereon my heart doth beat, To thy sacred altar-throne, Whereon my heart doth beat. 2 A lone lamp quivers still, And a wondrous silence reigns; Only with voice low and mild, The Holy One complains: "Long have I waited here, And tho' thou heed'st not me, not me, The heart of Mary's Son Beats ever on for thee, The heart of Mary's Son Beats ever on for thee." 3 In the womb of Maiden meek, In the Cradle, on the Tree, Heart of undying love, It lived, loved, broke for me: While around me thunders peal, Yet, as then, behold me now, By Thy pierced and wounded Hands By Thy torn and bleeding Brow. 4 O voice of the inward ear! O voice of complaining love! O Thou art awful God, To realms below and above! Thou waitest and pleadest here, And canst not from us part, O veiled and wondrous Son! O love of the Sacred Heart!
