We Come, O Christ, to You

Author: Edith Margaret Clarkson Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We come, O Christ, to you, true Son of God and man, by whom all things consist, in whom all life began. In you alone we live and move and have our being in your love. 2 You are the way to God, your blood our ransom paid; in you we face our Judge and Maker unafraid. Before the throne absolved we stand; your love has met your law's demand. 3 You are the living truth; all wisdom dwells in you, the source of every skill, the one eternal True! O great I AM! in you we rest, sure answer to our every quest. 4 You only are true life to know you is to live the more abundant life that earth can never give. O risen Lord! we live in you: in us each day your life renew! 5 We worship you, Lord Christ, our Savior and our King; to you our youth and strength adoringly we bring: so fill our hearts that all may view your life in us and turn to you!

1732 - 1789 Composer of "DARWALL" in Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) John Darwall (b. Haughton, Staffordshire, England, 1731; d. Walsall, Staffordshire, England, 1789) The son of a pastor, he attended Manchester Grammar School and Brasenose College, Oxford, England (1752-1756). He became the curate and later the vicar of St. Matthew's Parish Church in Walsall, where he remained until his death. Darwall was a poet and amateur musician. He composed a soprano tune and bass line for each of the 150 psalm versifications in the Tate and Brady New Version of the Psalms of David (l696). In an organ dedication speech in 1773 Darwall advocated singing the "Psalm tunes in quicker time than common [in order that] six verses might be sung in the same space of time that four generally are."
