O come, Thou
stricken Lamb of God!
Who shed’st for us
Thine own life-blood,
And teach us all Thy love:
then pain
Were sweet, and life
or death were gain.
Take Thou our hearts,
and let them be
For ever closed to all but Thee;
Thy willing servants, let us wear
The seal of love for ever there.
How blest are they who still abide
Close sheltered by Thy watchful side;
Who life and strength
from Thee receive,
And with Thee move,
and in Thee live!
Ah, Lord! enlarge our
scanty thought
To know the wonders
Thou hast wrought;
Unloose our stamm’ring
tongues to tell
Thy love, immense, unsearchable.
First-born of many brethren, Thou!
To whom both heaven
and earth must bow!
Heirs of Thy shame
and of Thy throne,
We bear the cross,
and seek the crown.
---Alternative verses---
O Come, Thou stricken
Lamb of God!
Who shed'st for us
Thine own life-blood,
And teach us all
Thy love—then pain
In life were sweet
and death were gain.
