Hymn 346. I Come To Thee Once More My Lord by Thomas A. Arne — Lyrics

VERSE 1 I come to Thee once more, my Lord, No longer will I roam; For I have sought the wide world through And never found a home. VERSE 2 Though bright and many are the spots, Where I have built a nest; Yet in the brightest still I pined, For more abiding rest.

About Hymn 346. I Come To Thee Once More My Lord

"I Come To Thee Once More My Lord" is a deeply reflective hymn of return and surrender. The text speaks from the perspective of a soul that has searched the world for fulfillment, only to realize that true rest is found in God alone. It is a gentle but profound admission that the "brightest spots" and worldly riches ultimately leave us pining for something more abiding.

Choirs often turn to this piece during Lent or for moments of quiet prayer and reflection. The melody, set to the classic Arlington tune by Thomas A. Arne, carries a steady, comforting rhythm that allows the congregation to truly pray the words. Singing the final verse, "For Thou hast made this wond'rous soul, All for Thyself alone," serves as a beautiful reminder of our ultimate purpose and a plea for God's transforming grace.
