VI. Let Me Be with Thee | | By Charlotte Elliott (1789–1871) |
| | 1836
LET me be with Thee where Thou art, | |
| My Saviour, my eternal Rest; | |
| Then only will this longing heart | |
| Be fully and for ever blest. | |
| |
| Let me be with Thee where Thou art; | 5 |
| Thy unveiled glory to behold; | |
| Then only will this wayward heart | |
| Cease to be treacherous, faithless, cold. | |
| |
| Let me be with Thee where Thou art, | |
| Where spotless saints Thy Name adore; | 10 |
| Then only will this sinful heart | |
| Be evil and defiled no more. | |
| |
| Let me be with Thee where Thou art, | |
| Where none can die, whence none remove, | |
| Then only will this cleansèd heart | 15 |
| Reflect the fulness of Thy love. | | | | |
