Come My Way

Lyrics by
George Herbert (1633)
Music by
Ralph Vaughan Williams (1911)
Tune
THE CALL · 8.8.8.8
Scripture
Matthew 4:19
Verse 1
Come, my Way, my Truth, my Life:
Such a Way, as gives us breath;
Such a Truth, as ends all strife;
Such a Life, as killeth death.
Verse 2
Come, my Light, my Feast, my Strength:
Such a Light, as shows a feast;
Such a Feast, as mends in length;
Such a Strength, as makes His guest.
Verse 3
Come, my Joy, my Love, my Heart:
Such a Joy, as none can move;
Such a Love, as none can part;
Such a Heart, as joys in love.

Herbert's poem invites the soul to follow Christ, set to a 20th-century English folk tune.
