- 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.:
- 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.
- 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.
- Lyrics: George Herbert (1593-1633) , "The Call", from "The Temple: Sacred Poems and Private Ejaculations", published 1633.
