10 He Comes to Me
I. Williams A. Gerbier
 
  1. He comes to me, to be mine own forever,
    He comes to me to rest within my heart,
    My God is mine all earthly bonds to sever,
    My happy soul is pierced with love's sweet dart—
    He comes to me, the Lord and King of Heaven
    He stoops to me in loving charity;
    His Heart is mine, in his dear mercy given,
    He comes to me, He comes to me!
    His Heart is mine, in his dear mercy given,
    He comes to me, He comes to me!
  2. He comes to me, what more could heart desire?
    What greater gift could even God bestow?
    My longing soul consumed with heavenly fire,
    Asks only this, my Jesus' love to know--
    Possessing that, no earthly joy or pleasure,
    No earthly crown could e'er mean aught to me;
    He is my all, my one and only treasure,
    He comes to me, He comes to me!
    He is my all, my one and only treasure,
    He comes to me, He comes to me!
