Come Away

Original tune: Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross; William H. Doane, 1832-1915.
Song of Solomon

Come away with me my bride; I love you forever.
Let me see your face and find, mercy reigns from heaven.

Chorus: Come away, come away, join redemption’s story.
To the lamb who sits enthroned; God’s own king of glory.


Hear the call of grace abound, sweetly sound; repentance.
Rise and come away to Christ; He absolves our sentence.

Chorus:

Christ the lily of the vale; He, the Rose of Sharon.
Bids me come and breathe new life, sin has left me barren.

Chorus:

Here He comes with sword on high, beautiful my treasure.
Setting captives free who call on his name; God’s pleasure.

Chorus:

Walk with me my wayward bride, though the path seem unsafe
Trust my love, my Spirit’s work; all who come must have faith.

Chorus:
