I come to His presence afresh
Ere the night has passed into morning;
And His face I see as it shines on me—
The Lord within is dawning.
And He speaks to me and reveals to me
All His riches for me today;
And with sweet delight I partake of Him,
My hunger has passed away.
Ere the night has passed into morning;
And His face I see as it shines on me—
The Lord within is dawning.
And He speaks to me and reveals to me
All His riches for me today;
And with sweet delight I partake of Him,
My hunger has passed away.

As Spirit He speaks thru the Word
Till my heart in echo is singing,
And the fount of life with His grace and pow'r
Within my soul is springing.
And He speaks to me and reveals to me
All His riches for me today;
And I drink of Him for my every need,
My thirsting has passed away.
Till my heart in echo is singing,
And the fount of life with His grace and pow'r
Within my soul is springing.
And He speaks to me and reveals to me
All His riches for me today;
And I drink of Him for my every need,
My thirsting has passed away.

In tenderness He deals with me,
While I stay with joy in His presence;
And He saturates and supplies my soul
With all His precious essence.
And He speaks to me and reveals to me
All His riches for me today;
And in every way I partake of Him,
My problems all passed away.
While I stay with joy in His presence;
And He saturates and supplies my soul
With all His precious essence.
And He speaks to me and reveals to me
All His riches for me today;
And in every way I partake of Him,
My problems all passed away.

Praise the Lord!
Our whole life hinges on the Lord’s speaking. Any day without the Lord’s speaking is in vain.
Lord, we are open to You: speak to us today. Our life depends on Your speaking. We love to hear Your voice. We come to You again and again and we want to maintain our fellowship with You, always listening to You!

This hymn blows “In the Garden” away.
Compare the two and see there’s no comparison. What clarity! What revelation! What experience! I’m so thankful for the brother who wrote this. What a blessing! “He saturates and supplies my soul with all His precious essence! ”

One thing that we always treasure is that the Lord still speaks to us personally and directly today. (ITERO October 2023, message 1)

I woke up this morning with the thought; "O No; another morning "
And the dear Lord brought this hymn to mind. Thank You Lord.
The words just spoke to me in a personal way.
Oh! What a comfort. Amen Lord.

Lord, do draw us morning by moring to come to Your presence afresh, so that You can speak to us and reveal to us, oh Lord, all the riches You have prepared for us. Lord, we don't want to miss You. Lord, we want to enjoy You moment by moment, to absorb all the riches of our Savior!!!

We surmise that Hebrews was written by the apostle Paul based on the observation that no one else had the vision he did, to be able to compose such a deep and mysterious letter. Similarly, we can surmise who wrote/adapted this hymn based on the author's realization and personal experience of God's economy and heart's desire. Wonderful hymn.

Who is the author of the hymn?
I enjoy the last two lines of stanza 2 that thirsts are sometimes the source of our need. The Lord as the living fountain of life quenches our every thirst. It’s true indeed that our uttermost need each day is to come afresh into His presence to drink of Him. Then we can testify that our thirsting has passed away.
