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.
Nought I ask for, nought 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 of richest hoard,
Are but weary, void, and dreary,
To the heart that longs for God;
Let me find Thee--
I am ready, mighty Lord.
