Come In Thy Love to Me

Representative Text

1 Come in thy love to me,
Jesus my Lord,
Let me thy glory see,
Jesus my Lord;
Fullness of blessing give,
Cleanse thou each stain,
Through my life speak and live,
In my heart reign.

2 Come with thy pardon free,
Jesus my Lord,
Contrite I kneel to thee,
Jesus my Lord.
Come with thy tender grace,
Savior I plead,
Give me abiding peace,
All that I need.

3 Come in thy love to me,
Jesus my Lord,
Pure thro’ thy blood I’d be,
Jesus my Lord.
Now may its cleansing pow’r,
Sweep o’er my soul,
Make me, O Lord this hour,
Perfectly whole.
