LyicsWith tearful eyes I look around;
Life seems a dark and stormy sea;
Yet 'midst the gloom I hear a sound--
A heavenly whisper--Come to me!
It tells me of a place of rest;
It tells me where my soul may flee:
Oh, to the weary, faint, opprest,
How sweet the bidding, Come to me!
Come, for all else must fail and die;
Earth is no resting-place for thee;
To heaven direct thy weeping eye--
I am thy portion; Come to me!
O voice of mercy, voice of love!
In conflict, grief, and agony,
Support me, cheer me from above,
And gently whisper, Come to me!
