Thou coming One, our wants relieve
1
Thou coming One, our wants relieveIn this our evil day;To all thy tempted followers giveThe power to watch and pray.Long as our fiery trials last,Long as the cross we bear,O let our souls on thee be cast,In all-prevailing prayer.
2
The power of interceding graceGive us in faith to claim;To wrestle till we see thy face,And know thy hidden name.Till then thy perfect love impart;Till thou appear belowBe this the cry of every heart,—"I will not let thee go."
3
I will not let thee go, unlessThou tell thy name to me;With all thy great salvation bless,And make me all like thee.Then let me on the mountain-topBehold thy open face,Where faith in sight is swallowed up,And prayer in joyful praise.
