From all I love, enjoy, and see,

When a faint chill steals o'er thy heart,

A sweet voice utters, 'Come to Me.'

"'Come, for all else must fade and die,

Earth is no resting place for thee;

Heavenward direct thy weeping eye,

I am thy portion, 'Come to Me.'

"'Oh, voice of mercy! voice of love!

In conflict, grief, and agony;

Support me, cheer me from above!
