Bethany

Come, at My altar kneel,
Child of Heav'n.
Here, at My mercy-seat,
Where thou art forgiv'n.
Here, in My love complete,
Hear the old strain repeat,
"Come, find thy ransom here,
Child of Heav'n."

Come, find forgiveness here;
The world leave.
And in My perfect peace,
Healing grace receive.
Know I have heard thy plea!
Come and rest at My feet.
Find in My will a sweet
Peace unto Heav'n.

See there the Cross arise;
Thy debt was paid.
There, in the grave so still,
Jesus was laid.
Risen on Easter morn!
See now thy Living Lord!
Death's sting now wholly scorn;
Live unto Heav'n.

See, in the clouds He comes!
Zion returns!
All tears are washed away;
From your sins now turn.
Thy robe is holy white;
Find now the Lord's pure light.
Zion with love shines bright;
Light unto Heav'n.

(Sing to Bethany, or Nearer, My God, to Thee).
