Author: Elizabeth L. Smith; John Calvin Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 41 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 35:10 Lyrics: 1 I greet Thee, who my sure Redeemer art,
My only Trust and Saviour of my heart,
Who pain didst undergo for my poor sake;
I pray Thee from our hearts all cares to take.
2 Thou art the King of mercy and of grace,
Reigning omnipotent in every place:
So come, O King, and our whole being sway;
Shine on us with the light of Thy pure day.
3 Thou art the life, by which alone we live,
And all our substance and our strength receive;
Sustain us by Thy faith and by Thy power,
And give us strength in every trying hour.
4 Thou hast the true and perfect gentleness,
No harshness hast Thou and no bitterness:
O grant to us the grace we find in Thee,
That we may dwell in perfect unity.
5 Our hope is in no other save in Thee;
Our faith is built upon Thy promise free;
Lord, give us peace, and make us calm and sure,
That in Thy strength we evermore endure.
Amen. Topics: Christ Adoration and Praise; Christ Grace; Christ King; Christ Life, Our; Unity; Jesus Christ Adoration and Praise Used With Tune: TOULON
