Let me be with Thee, where Thou art,
My Saviour, my eternal Rest!
Then only will this longing heart
Be fully and forever blest!
Let me be with Thee, where Thou art,
Thine unvailed glory to behold!
Then only will this wandering heart
Cease to be faithless, treacherous cold!
Let me be with Thee, where Thou art,
Where spotless saints Thy Name adore!
Then only will this sinful heart
Be evil and defiled no more!
Let me be with Thee, where Thou art,
Where none can die, where none remove,
Where life nor death my soul can part
From Thy blest presence and Thy love!
