At Last!
Gerhard Ter Steegen
Draw me to Thee, till far within Thy rest, In stillness of Thy peace, Thy voice I hear— For ever quieted upon Thy breast, So loved, so near. By mystery of Thy touch my spirit thrilled, O Magnet all Divine; The hunger of my soul for ever stilled, For Thou art mine. For me, O Lord, the world is all too small, For I have seen Thy face, Where Thine eternal love irradiates all Within Thy secret place. And therefore from all others, from all else, Draw Thou my soul to Thee … … Yea—Thou hast broken the enchanter's spells, And I am free. Now in the haven of untroubled rest I land at last, The hunger, and the thirst, and weary quest For ever past. There, Lord, to lose, in bliss of Thine embrace The recreant will; There, in the radiance of Thy blessed Face, Be hushed and still; There, speechless at Thy pierced Feet See none and nought beside, And know but this—that Thou art sweet, That I am satisfied. |
