Come Unto Me

Topics: classic

(Lyra Eucharistica, second edition, 1864.)     Oh, for the time gone by, when thought of Christ         Made His Yoke easy and His Burden light;         When my heart stirred within me at the sight     Of Altar spread for awful Eucharist;     When all my hopes His promises sufficed,         When my Soul watched for Him by day, by night,         When my lamp lightened and my robe was white,     And all seemed loss, except the Pearl unpriced.     Yet, since He calls me still with tender Call,         Since He remembers Whom I half forgot,         I even will run my race and bear my lot:         For Faith the walls of Jericho cast down,         And Hope to whoso runs holds forth a Crown,     And Love is Christ, and Christ is All in all.
