My God, my Father, dost Thou call

  1. My God, my Father, dost Thou call
    Thy long-lost wandering child to thee?
    And canst thou, wilt thou pardon all?
    I come, I come; Lord, save thou me.

  2. O Jesus, art Thou passing by
    With all Thy goodness, grace, and power?
    And dost Thou hear my broken cry?
    I come, I come, in mercy's hour.

  3. O Holy Spirit, is it Thou,
    My tenderest Friend refused too long?
    And art Thou pleading, striving now?
    I come, I come: make weakness strong.

  4. Yes, Lord, I come: Thy heart of love
    Is moving, kindling, drawing mine.
    I cast me at thy feet to prove
    The bliss, the heaven of being Thine. Amin.
