E. R. Charles

S.M.

COME and rejoice with me!

For once my heart was poor,

And I have found a treasury

Of love, a boundless store.

2

Come and rejoice with me!

I, once so sick at heart,

Have met with One Who knows my case,

And knows the healing art.

3

Come and rejoice with me!

For I was wearied sore,

And I have found a mighty arm

Which holds me evermore.

4

Come and rejoice with me!

My feet so wide did roam,

And One has sought me from afar,

And beareth me safe home.

5

Come and rejoice with me!

For I have found a Friend

Who knows my heart’s most secret depths

Yet loves me without end.

6

I knew not of His love;

And He had loved so long,

With love so faithful and so deep,

So tender and so strong.

7

And now I know it all,

Have heard and known His voice,

And hear it still from day to day,

Can I enough rejoice?
