10431. I Am Coming

1 Sad and weary, lone and dreary,
Lord, I would Thy call obey;
Thee believing, Christ receiving,
I would come to Thee today.

Refrain:
I am coming, I am coming,
Coming, Savior, to be blessed;
I am coming, I am coming,
Coming, Lord, to Thee for rest.

2 Thou, the holy, meek and lowly,
Jesus, unto Thee I come;
Keep me ever, let me never
From Thy blessèd keeping roam. [Refrain]

3 Here abiding, in Thee hiding,
Seeks my weary soul to rest;
Till the dawning of the morning,
When I wake amongst the blessed. [Refrain]

4 Be Thou near me, keep and cheer me,
Thro’ life’s dark and stormy way;
Turn my sadness into gladness,
Turn my darkness into day. [Refrain]
