I am com­ing to Thee, Sav­ior,
Heavy la­den and op­pressed,
For I need Thy sav­ing mer­cy,
And I want Thy heav’n­ly rest.
Earth’s bright hopes have failed and fad­ed,
Earth’s dear love has passed away;
I am bur­dened, wea­ry heart­ed,
As I come to Thee to­day.

Refrain

I am com­ing, sim­ply com­ing,
In my sin­ful­ness to Thee;
I am sure Thou wilt re­ceive me,
For Thy pro­mise is my plea.

I am com­ing to Thee, Sav­ior,
I have heard Thy lov­ing call,
And tho’ un­told sins op­press me,
Thou canst save me from them all.
I am com­ing, sad­ly own­ing
That I do not come aright;
Yet be­liev­ing that my dark­ness
Will be changed to per­fect light.

Refrain

I am com­ing! tho’ the tempt­er
Bids my trem­bling soul des­pair;
If I reach Thy feet, O Je­sus,
I shall ne­ver per­ish there.
If I do but touch Thy gar­ment,
Thou wilt sure­ly make me whole;
Lord, I come, I touch, I trust Thee
Save, oh save my sin­ful soul.

Refrain
