| Let Me Be with Thee |
| | | Charlotte Elliott (1789–1871) |
| |
| |
| LET me be with thee where thou art, | |
| My Saviour, my eternal rest! | |
| Then only will this longing heart | |
| Be fully and forever blest. | |
| |
| Let me be with thee where thou art, | 5 |
| Thy unveil’d glory to behold; | |
| Then only will this wandering 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 defil’d no more. | |
| |
| Let me be with thee where thou art, | |
| Where none can die, where none remove; | |
| There neither death nor life will part | 15 |
| Me from thy presence and thy love! | |
