Jesus, once left his throne on high,
Left the bright realms of bliss,
And came on earth to bleed and die-
Was ever love like this?
Is there a heart that will not bend
To his divine control?
Descend, O sov'reign love, descend,
And melt that stubborn soul.
Jesus, once left his throne on high,
Left the bright realms of bliss,
And came on earth to bleed and die-
Was ever love like this?
Come, dearest Lord, we will confess
Thy sweet, thy gentle sway:
Our willing hearts, constraint by grace,
Thy pleasing rule obey.
Is there a heart that will not bend
To his divine control?
Descend, O sov'reign love, descend,
And melt that stubborn soul.
Tho' we, for bounty so divine,
No equal honors raise;
Yet, Lord, may all our hearts be thine,
Our tongues proclaim thy praise.
Come, dearest Lord, we will confess
Thy sweet, thy gentle sway:
Our willing hearts, constraint by grace,
Thy pleasing rule obey.
Tho' we, for bounty so divine,
No equal honors raise;
Yet, Lord, may all our hearts be thine,
Our tongues proclaim thy praise.
