Oremus Hymnal: Let me be with thee where thou art

Let me be with thee where thou art

Let me be with thee where thou art,
my Savior, my eternal rest;
then only will this longing heart
be fully and for ever blessed.

Let me be with thee where thou art,
thy unveiled glory to behold;
then only will this wandering heart
cease to be treacherous, faithless, cold.

Let me be with thee where thou art,
where spotless saints thy Name adore:
then only will this sinful heart
be evil and defiled no more.

Let me be with thee where thou art,
where none can die, where none remove;
then neither death nor life will part
me from thy presence and thy love.
