Come, if you would see Him, though frightened and trembling,
The secret of power is offered you free.
Draw closer to Christ to be rid of sin’s burden,
And find there’s a young Man in heaven for thee.
He’s borne all our griefs and He’s carried
our sorrows,
Laid down His life
in the midst of His days.
So gently He calls
you to hasten still onward,
The young Man in glory still lingers today.
We see them pass
over, the aged and the crippled,
The child from the
comfort of motherly care.
So many hearts
broken, much sorrow unspoken,
They all will be like Him, the young Man up there.
So deep in our
hearts we are feeling a longing,
To be more like
Jesus, our Saviour and Lord.
The only thing
then, that will bring satisfaction-
To wake with His
likeness where He is adored.
Mark Humber 29/9/91
