Hither come, ye poor and wretched, Know His will Is to fill Ev'ry hand outstretched; Here are riches without measure, Here forget All regret, Fill your hearts with treasure. 5. Faithfully Thee, Lord, I'll cherish, Live to Thee, And with Thee Dying, shall not perish, But shall dwell with Thee forever, Far on high, In the joy That can alter never.
