Hymns

Come, Saviour, quickly come,

by Henry Fowler·1814·Meter 6.6.8.6 (SM)

Based on Ps 25:17

1

Come, Saviour, quickly come,
Let me but feel thee near;
I'm a poor wanderer far from home,
Pursued by guilt and fear.

2

The troubles which I meet,
The evils which I feel,
The miry clay that clogs my feet,
Entangle, and I reel.

3

Thy hand alone can guide
My weather-beaten bark;
And in this stormy sea provide
A safe and solid ark.

4

O shut me safely in;
Then at the storm I'll smile;
Nor fear the power of hell and sin,
But triumph all the while.
