COME, my way, my truth, my life --
Such a way as gives us breath;
Such a truth as ends all strive;
Such a life as killeth death
Come my light, my feast, my strength --
Such a light as shows a feast;
Such a feast as mends in length;
Such a strength as makes His guest.
Come my joy, my love, my heart!
Such a joy as none can move;
Such a love as none can part;
Such a heart as joys in love.
