Come To Me

Tune: Chartres, 15th Century French Tune
Meter: 87.87 D

Come to Me, all you, My faithful,
Come unto My altar-throne,
Come and visit Me more often
For I wait here all alone.
I have kept My lamp-light burning,
Glowing in deep crimson red,
For I thirst for one small visit
More than all this silence dread.

Come to me, all you o’erburdened
By your sorrows and your woe,
I will grant you rest more precious
Than the pleasures of the foe.
I have kept My lamp-light burning,
Come and rest your weary head,
I will calm the storms of anguish
More than sleep upon your bed.

Come to Me, all hearts yet broken
Treading sorrow’s darkened road,
I will be your sweet Salvation,
I will be your Joy untold.
I have kept My lamp-light burning,
See its beams of blesséd light,
Come to Me and in your heart I’ll
Set your hope to burning bright.

Come to Me, all you who, sinners,
Live amidst despairing fear,
Be not afraid, My Blood was shed,
Price was paid, and you are dear.
You are not beyond My Mercy,
Repent, enter My Heart’s cove,
See, I keep My lamp-light burning:
In the Host, My Heart of love!

Come to Me, all you the lukewarm,
Now’s the time to fervent grow;
Come to Me, be My disciple,
Learn from Me and get to know
All the ways of love and mercy,
Fervent charity to sow.
See, I keep My lamp-light burning,
Keep your baptism-flame aglow!

Come to Me, all unbelievers,
See Me in the Host at Mass!
I am here, your great Redeemer,
Hear My priest, have faith at last!
Look! I left My lamp on for you,
I who am the Lamb of God,
Doubt no longer, come to know Me,
Come and find what saints have sought!
