Calling the Lord--By Sunil Uniyal--India

Calling the Lord (a Bhajan in English)

As comes the spring to a barren hill
or rain to a thirsty tree,
So Thou come to me, O my Lord,
so Thou come to me.

As comes the eve to a weary sun
or calm to a troubled sea,
So Thou come to me, O my Lord,
so Thou come to me.

As comes a poem to the poet,
or goal to a journey,
So Thou come to me, O my Lord,
so Thou come to me.
