Come then, let us hasten yonder;<br />

Her let all,<br />

Great <strong>and</strong> small,<br />

Kneel in awe <strong>and</strong> wonder.<br />

Love Him who with love is yearning;<br />

Hail the Star<br />

That from far<br />

Bright with hope is burning!<br />

Ye who pine in weary sadness,<br />

Weep no more,<br />

For the door<br />

Now is found <strong>of</strong> gladness.<br />

Cling to Him for He will guide you<br />

Where no cross<br />

Pain or loss,<br />

Can again betide you.<br />

Hither come, ye heavy-hearted;<br />

Who for sin<br />

Deep within,<br />

Long <strong>and</strong> sore have smarted;<br />

For the poison'd wounds you're feeling<br />

Help is near,<br />

One is here<br />

Mighty for their healing!<br />

Hither come, ye poor <strong>and</strong> wretched;<br />

Know His will<br />

Is to fill<br />

Every h<strong>and</strong> outstretched;<br />

Here are riches without measure,<br />

Here forget<br />

<strong>All</strong> regret,<br />

Fill your hearts with treasure.<br />

Blessed Saviour, let me find <strong>The</strong>e!<br />

Keep Thou me<br />

Close to <strong>The</strong>e,<br />

Cast me not behind <strong>The</strong>e!<br />

Life <strong>of</strong> life, my heart Thou stillest,<br />

Calm I rest<br />

on Thy breast,<br />

<strong>All</strong> this void Thou fillest.<br />
