Lyics

Je-sus, I am coming now,

Com-ing to the fountain;

Pre-cious is th' a-ton-ing blood

Shed on Calv'rys mountain.



CHO.-Coming now, coming now,

Seeking grace and fa-vor,

That my wea-ry soul may find 

Rest in thee for-ev-er.



Jesus, make me true to thee,

Pure, and meek, and lowly,

While I walk the narrow way

To the city holy.-CHO.



Jesus, fill my heart with peace,

Flowing like a river;

Day by day my joy increase,

Till the glad forever.-CHO.
