1 Jesus, I Thy face am seeking,
Early will I turn to Thee;
Words of love Thy voice is speaking:
“Come, come to Me.”

Refrain 1:
Come to Me,
Come to Me;
Words of love Thy voice is speaking:
“Come, come to Me.

2 “Come to Me when life is dawning,
I thy dearest Friend would be;
In the sunshine of the morning,
Come, come to Me.”

Refrain 2:
Come to Me,
Come to Me;
“In the sunshine of the morning,
Come, come to Me.

3 “Come to Me—oh, do believe Me!
I have shed My blood for thee;
I am waiting to receive thee,
Come, come to Me.”

Refrain 3:
Come to Me,
Come to Me;
“I am waiting to receive thee,
Come, come to Me.”

4 Lord, I come without delaying,
To Thine arms at once I flee,
Lest no more I hear Thee saying,
“Come, come to Me.”

Refrain 4:
Come to Me,
Come to Me;
Lest no more I hear Thee saying,
“Come, come to Me.”

Timeless Truths

Author: Anonymous

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
