Lyics

1 WITH tearful eyes I look around;

Life seems a dark and stormy sea;

Yet 'midst the gloom I hear a sound,

A heav'nly whisper, Come to me.



2 It tells me of a place to rest,

It tells me where my soul may flee.

O to the weary, faint, opprest,

How sweet the bidding, Come to me!



3 When nature shudders, loth to part

From all I love, enjoy and see,

When a faint chill steals o'er my heart,

A sweet voice utters, Come to me.



4 Come, for all else must fail and die;

Earth is no resting place for thee;

Heav'nward direct thy weeping eye;

I am thy portion; Come to me.



5 O voice of mercy, voice of love!

In conflict, grief and agony,

Support me, cheer me from above,

And gently whisper, Come to me.
