RCCG Hymn 88
O Word, of Words the Sweetest
"How sweet are Thy words unto my taste." - Ps. 119:103
O word, of words the sweetest O word, in which there lie All promise, all fulfilment, And end of mystery! Lamenting, or rejoicing With doubt or terror nigh, I hear the "Come!" of Jesus, And to His cross I fly.
Chorus
'Come!...oh come to m! come!...oh come to me! Weary, heavy-laden, come!.. oh come to me!
O soul! why shouldst thou wander, From such a loving Friend! Cling closer, closer to Him, Stay with Him to the end: Alas! I am so helpless, So very full of sin, For I am wand'ring, And coming back again.
Oh, each time draw me nearer, That soon the "Come" may be, Naught but a gentle whisper, To one close, close to Thee; Then, over sea and mountain, Far from, or near my home, I'll take Thy hand and follow, At that sweet whisper, "Come!"
