Chorus: Come I here before you,
Master good and true:
Jesus, Word Eternal,
Life and Way and Truth.
1. Your altar I draw near,
Coming joyfully:
In you, who are my Life,
Ever young I’ll be.
Chorus.
2. Sinner that I am,
Pardon me, O Lord,
But with your forgiveness,
Upward I’ll e’er soar.
Chorus.
3. Glory to you, Lord;
You died for my love,
Rose for me and went back
To your home above.
Chorus.
4. Mind and heart await:
Speak to me, O Lord.
My will may you nourish
With your saving word.
Chorus.
5. In you I believe—
Ofall truth the Source,
Live I in the hope to
Praise you evermore.
Chorus.
6. Turn your gaze on me.
Give your helping hand.
Stay with me and guide me
To heaven’s promised land.
Chorus.
