134. Jesus, we Come to Thee

1 Jesus, we come to thee,
Craving thy love;
We would beseech thy aid
Where’er we rove.
Still nearer to thy side,
Once pierced and crucified,
Jesus, we come to thee,
Craving thy love.

2 Jesus, we come to thee,
Shepherd divine;
Wilt thou be merciful?
Our hearts incline
Toward thy blessed truth,
Solace to age or youth,
Jesus, we come to thee,
Shepherd divine.

3 Jesus, we come to thee,
Wilt thou uphold
All thro’ life’s changing years
As they unfold?
And then, when comes the night,
Oh, may our hopes be bright;
Jesus, we come to thee,
Wilt thou uphold?
