LyicsHere behold me, as I cast me
At thy throne, O glorious King!
Tears fast thronging, child-like longing,
Son of man, to thee I bring.
Let me find thee--
Me, a poor and worthless thing.
Look upon me, Lord, I pray thee;
Let thy Spirit dwell in mine;
Thou hast sought me, thou hast bought me,
Only thee to know I pine:
Let me find thee--
Take my heart and grant me thine.
Naught I ask for, naught I strive for;
But thy grace, so rich and free,
That thou givest whom thou lovest,
And who truly cleave to thee;
Let me find thee--
He hath all things who hath thee.
Earthly treasure, mirth and pleasure,
Glorious name or richest hoard,
Are but weary, void and dreary,
To the heart that longs for God:
Let me find thee--
I am ready, mighty Lord.
