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.

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.

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.

This is my 'go to' hymn. My all time favorite. A simple but profound hymn full of love and care and succor between two people (the Lord and the singer) who cherish each other.

It seems this hymn was inspired by the hymn, "I come to the garden alone" by Charles Austin Miles in 1913 which applied Mary Magdalene's experience in John 20:11-18 to us. The tunes are very similar.

Nice one, Tom! I tried singing the way you suggested and indeed it is sweeter!
And in every way I partake of You,
My problems all passed away.
Amen!

This song is sweeter and more romantic toward the Lord if you change third person to second person for the Lord:
I come to Your presence afresh
Ere the night has passed into morning;
And Your face I see as it shines on me-
My Lord within you're dawning.
And You speak to me and reveal to me
All Your riches for me today;
And with sweet delight I partake of You,
My hunger has passed away.
