Come, Lord, and warm each languid heart,
Inspire each lifeless tongue;
And let the joys of heaven impart
Their influence to our song.
Come, Lord, thy love alone can raise
In us the heav'nly flame;
Then shall our lips resound thy praise,
Our hearts adore thy name.
Dear Saviour, let thy glory shine.
And fill thy dwellings here,
Till life, and love, and joy divine
A heav*n on eath appear.
Sorrow, mid pain, and every care,
And discord there shall cease;
And perfect joy, and love sincere,
Adorn the realms of peace.
The soul from sin for ever free,
Shall mourn its power no more;
But, Clothed in spotless purity,
Redeeming love adore.
There, on a throne (how dazzling bright!)
Th' exalted Saviour shines;
And beams ineffable delight
On all the heavenly minds.
There shall the followers of the Lamb
Join in immortal songs;
And endless honours to his name
Employ their tuneful tongues.
Lord, tune our hearts to praise and love,
Our feeble notes inspire;
Till in thy blissful courts above
We join the angelic choir.
Come, Lord, and warm each languid heart,
Inspire each lifeless tongue;
And let the joys of heaven impart
Their influence to our song.
Come, Lord, thy love alone can raise
In us the heav'nly flame;
Then shall our lips resound thy praise,
Our hearts adore thy name.
Dear Saviour, let thy glory shine.
And fill thy dwellings here,
Till life, and love, and joy divine
A heav*n on eath appear.
Sorrow, mid pain, and every care,
And discord there shall cease;
And perfect joy, and love sincere,
Adorn the realms of peace.
The soul from sin for ever free,
Shall mourn its power no more;
But, Clothed in spotless purity,
Redeeming love adore.
There, on a throne (how dazzling bright!)
Th' exalted Saviour shines;
And beams ineffable delight
On all the heavenly minds.
There shall the followers of the Lamb
Join in immortal songs;
And endless honours to his name
Employ their tuneful tongues.
Lord, tune our hearts to praise and love,
Our feeble notes inspire;
Till in thy blissful courts above
We join the angelic choir.
