1  We come, O Christ, to Thee,

       True Son of God and man,

    By whom all things consist,

       In whom all life began:

    In Thee alone we live and move

    And have our being in Thy love.

 2  Thou art the Way to God,

       Thy blood our ransom paid;

    In Thee we face our Judge

       And Maker unafraid.

    Before the Throne absolved we stand:

    Thy love has met Thy law's demand.

 3  Thou art the living Truth!

       All wisdom dwells in Thee,

    Thou Source of every skill,

       Eternal Verity!

    Thou great I Am! In Thee we rest,

    True answer to our every quest.

 4  Thou only art true Life,

       To know Thee is to live

    The more abundant life

       That earth can never give:

    O Risen Lord! We live in Thee

    And Thou in us eternally!

 5  We worship Thee Lord Christ,

       Our Savior and our King,

    To Thee our youth and strength

       Adoringly we bring:

    So fill our hearts that men may see

    Thy life in us and turn to Thee!
